    so… I have designed my own road bike, and to be honest I’m damn happy about how it turned out. and in my opinion it looks awesome, but now I’m considering if I should make it! I have contacted Motorsport carbon fibre companies about the moulds and a carbon weaving company in the UK and they seem happy to do it but…. and yes a BIG BUT….. it will cost well over £200,000 to make just one!! CRAZY! :O I have the money, but what do you think about the design? too much? need more? teak something? and if you could would you do it yourself?! I’d love to know, and how you would start to make your dream bike! =P~

    that’s the problem I cant build it myself as the carbon fibre weave is manufactured in a different way and professionally done, the logos no problem I have licensing to use Lamborghini’s name which was a ball ache!

    Interestinging, what is the
    Interestinging, what is the purpose of the cranked rear stays? I think the name/logos could be worked on; you might get trouble from some pesky car company; unless you could get them to finance it. Or for £200,000 you could learn how to build it yourself. Finally just buy the most expensive TT bike you can find and buy me a Canyon CF SLX 6.0 with Sram red in black on black 56cm frame with your spare cash, save a bit of time. 😀
