Its interesting. I almost like it. However I think they've used some interesting photographic techniques as garynortheast says its a bit Lego. That might have something to do with the fact one or two things are missing such as the front brake lines, the rear brake lever, clutch cable, and anything that is actually holding that bike level. Would be nice to see what a road ready version looks like in daylight.

In years gone by this would have been sketched on the back of a fag packet and consigned to the bin when the fags ran out. These days fresh engineering graduates can do a bunch of stress analysis and produce a 3d printed prototype in a matter of weeks without ever leaving their desk. But even if they gave me one I don't think I'd want to be seen riding it in public

Me? Grumpy?? Never!!
