    But you have the privilege to go on holiday in the Dolomites and tell the locals you have a bike made by Tom Donhou and get a "Tom who?" as a reply... :wink:

    He seems like a nice bloke and I enjoyed the short film about his speed attempt... would I spend that kind of money for a frame made by him? I think not

    I've met him. He's a very nice chap indeed and I'm pleased he's doing well. For that money though You could go 953 and full custom. I know where I'd go.
    Napoleon, don't be jealous that I've been chatting online with babes all day. Besides, we both know that I'm training to be a cage fighter.

    Don't forget the non -hydraulic disc brakes which you typically find on something costing £3000 less.
