RSD Desmo Tracker

Work in progress shots of Roland Sands' Desmosedici street tracker. Looks long in this shot. And I hope the rear wheel is just temporary, still, it's iconoclastic. G

- thats very funny Rich, but without being facetious, I dig it as is. Even it's Captain Nemo billet turbine wheel and it's sea-bed trawler mouth. Where's my cheque book?

Yeah i know, i know. I'm not actually criticising because:
1. there's no way i could build anything better
2. it's about 1000 times quicker and better handling than my bike, and
3. i'd still ride the hell out of it if i won it in a tombola.

As long as he keeps the front spoked wheel (for that asymmetrical look), I'm all for a bit of billet.

Roland Sands gets me all confused (like Alan Partridge with the lady boys).

I like that bike.

Must be nice being a millionaires son.

What difference does that make? What's he supposed to do, take up polo? His dad made a bike business and shared some of his hard work with his son, his son is talented and people want him to build bikes for them. It's not like he's the fucking landed gentry.

I think it makes a huge difference. A man cant race roadbikes if hes not rich. Money makes anything possible and can buy you in just about anywhere in America. The dude can ride though.
