I liked this line in the spruik " Shadows were so expensive to manufacture that Vincent actually sold them at a loss." Actually Vincent made a motza from Shadows because there was an extra £80 profit on each bike over Rapides. At £40K there must have been something not right. Still could make a nice road bike though.
