Australian company comprised of ex-automotive industry engineers. They manufacturer all the parts themselves including all the titanium.

I have seen them in person at blacksmith. They are a work of art. Never ridden one, don't know any dentists that own one.

Bring the big cheque book.

Search them out on YouTube. Lots of media on them.

i follow them on IG. amazing work. and interesting construction philosphy, 3D printed TI lugs with interesting internal structures -- like bird bones, for strength + low-weight. and bespoke filament-sound CF tubes, so nothing off-the-shelf.

Saw my friend standing in front of one at the Blacksmith booth this year at the Toronto "Show" and he told me he had bought one.
Only great things to say about the bike and service.
