They've hard tailed it, but it just looks flimsy, like the first pothole would rip the swing arm out.

It's nicely done but other than display I'm not sure what it's for. You wouldn't want to ride it on the road with those tyres and the clearance on the rear end must mean it should be rock solid, but there must be some flex*? It doesn't say it's going to be drag raced either.

Still, it's quite pretty.

*Edit: or what KFB ^^^ - it'll break on a pothole.

And then the rear wheel would chew up that carefully upholstered seat... And why on earth keep the Comstar wheels? They were a poor idea that should have stayed in the 70s/early 80s.
