That belongs to Mark.....(wingspan) from the Dotheton forum. The build thread can be seen on there. Mark is an aircraft engineer with a great eye for detail. The bike has won a few awards.

Spannies are ours ! Nice 4l/s front hub.

That was the winter price!
Probably would have gotten more in the spring.

Quite true. Always can get more at the beginning of the season.

Two things on that build helped get that price. The fuel tank, and the 4LS brakes. Those two things, if you sourced them yourself, would likely cost you around $1500 alone.
