"PURIST"!!!!

Now come on Ian. Sure it'd be "worth more" but that baby's BEAUTIFUL and so tastefully done, and would certainly catch MY EYE at any gathering of classic bikes over some old Meriden-built machine that was meticulously restored by some "anal-retentive type"!!!

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
