Re: "Cafe Racer" such a loose term! Craigslist "Gem" of the week!
Still chasing this one? I don't understand what it is about this one that's off-putting or "offensive" to your fad. It's not advertised as a cafe racer, and unlike the central theme of this thread, it's not a simple amalgamation of Dime City catalog specials.
Overall the bike may not be that appealing, but it certainly looks like somebody's a proud craftsman. I wouldn't vote for this one, but I would spend some time looking at how it's done and the practical problems they inevitably solved.
It may not be your cup of apple-tini, but it certainly exudes soul and originality.
Respect a man for being so bold. Do you think you could have done so well? I believe it takes a sort of passion to do what he did, and isn't that what this hobby is about? It takes a real devotion to patiently handle something so delicate with white gloves and a light touch. There's no telling what it might involve to patch up a....tinder.....bender.... :-*
