Probably more form than function,but worth a casual peruse/snipe.

I love it, and would absolutely love a go on it. The Ohlins-suspended seat (with hardtail rear) made me laugh out loud. Insane engineering. Top banana.

Ditto. I think it's sort of beautiful. :D

Yeah, that's what a reimagined bike should be like - up to date, but not so up to date that you can't see anything from the original in it.

I wouldn't want one, but I do admire the work of the designers/builders.
