It's beautifully done (though maybe I would have had the seatpost done instead of the saddle, but that's picking fly poop from the pepper) and I'm sure worth it to the buyer of the bike, otherwise they never would have commissioned it.



The bike's only got to wow the person buying it, at the end of the day.
A friend of mine owns a custom motorcycle shop. They build bikes from scratch that bill out over $200k that are never ridden but go straight into a private collection. Some are really cool, some, well not so much, but the client is over the moon and in the end that is all that counts.

I think it's cool as my friend solves very difficult engineering problems with artful execution and world class craftsmanship. For that I'm very thankful for his patron as I get to see the builds first hand.
