It looks like a KTM

That's really nicely done. Substantial bit of engineering, good central idea behind it, and v professional looking result.

(+ it's been ridden rather than stuck on a pedestal).

For some reason that brought the TRX to mind! Nice job though.

I like that. Agree with Taipan... a lot of TRX850 styling cues inc the trellis frame.

He used a TRX 850 frame as part of the build so the similarity isn't unexpected really.

A very nice example of a 'shedbuild'.
As has been said, very TRX'y, but nowt wrong with that.

That's a very impressive self-build. The Frame especially, - both concept & execution.

That would explain a lot. I only read the pictures

Looks like the rear of the trellis frame will constantly catch on clothing tbh
