Alenax. I have no desire to pay money for one of those, but riding one is on my to-do list out of morbid curiosity.

Been up on Gumtree for a while: https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/sunshin ... 1312209060 seller is optimistic at $4500, but $6500 is hilarious.

I find the 'only one in the world' a bit heavy handed - doesn't that apply to every custom bike?

I'm sad the Somec parts aren't on a Somec, but that's just a personal grievance.

Hmm - yeah he's a serious, pricey seller. He has one of those Gusto frames i wouldn't mind trying out, except they're always over-there, over-priced and kindof ugly to boot. Seems to have a few of them. And an octopus mate who holds the bikes upright,

A bike in Bentleigh with wooden rims. The frame looks a little anachronistic to my inexperienced eye.

For anyone interested in Grant Petersen bikes, RB-1 is up

https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/335277057033

Apparently these clear 32mm

Too aggressive for my back though but someone else might be interested

To anyone who isn't familiar with the bike or Grant

Damn, I would have gone with this. Been looking at their frames like the Platypus for something a bit more relaxed
