What does that have to do with what I said? For a second it sounded like you were going to contradict me but all you did was reinforce my opinion. Thanks!




With the phrase "pure sculpture", I thought you meant they were static items and not usable as real motorcycles, John. And so thinking about these in that manner, I agreed with you about #27 but not about #37. That's all.

However, now that I've taken another look at #27, I think I see what appears to be a "tie rod" on the opposite(right) side of this bike, which might control a center-hub steering setup on it. And so, maybe even this bike is usable also. However, with both sides of the front wheel appearing enclosed so closely by that frame member, I still wonder how the outside edges of the front wheel would be able to turn without rubbing up against that frame member.

Edit: And now taking yet another look at #27 here, I see that front frame member bows out a bit at where the tire would swing out while turning it...though it still looks as if the turning radius is mighty tight at full lock.

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)
