[QUOTE="Simon Leake, post: 115606, member: 4392"] You got the (reasonably) healthy, moderately well off, ably talented part right. But the "young" and "time" part not so good. Yes, the cost was eye-watering and, unfortunately, the next generation can't even afford a Flat in Sydney. But I have a strong belief in Industrial Art and all that goes with it. Our industries may be dying, before the Asian onslaught but it's not about how much steel and magnesium alloy you can make, its about what you do with it, and where you place it. The shapes you form it in to. I met some brilliant machinists making this bike and they all mean much more to me than the cold metal you see in the photo. Artists all. Vincent is a coleagueate exercise not a marque. It has transcended the boundaries of a metallic thing and become living. It lives, in the Minds of Men (also including Women, Gay, Bi, Trans and non-binary). New, Old makes no difference. Flesh is stronger than steel. Vincent's Rule. It is really a museum piece. But I will ride it. [/QUOTE]
