I've seen a couple of others, but this is the first I saw on the road.

This bike -- or one very similar -- was on the cover of American Iron about two years ago.

I love the look. It is way cool!

Those wheels look so much easier to clean than mine.

Mke's bike is unique in that he made the front and rear wheels out of several hundred pieces (don't recall the exact number). As opposed to a chain or belt for the final drive it uses a "Friction" drive to make it move. Mike is very talented and has several other creations that just don't seem to get the exposure that some of the other guys get.
