Muzzmann's Duc on the Shed

[LondonDutch]

...Well, how could I refuse? Not only is Stephano's bike pretty, his crew chief is even prettier.

I've also setup a Bike Shed facebook page, and am now listed as Dutch Von Shed. Please do tap me up as a friend and join The Shed on FB too.

nice - a worthy bike for sure :}
he's put soooo much attention and work into all the little details. i was lucky enough to be in the dyno booth w/him when he was setting up the fueling and the bike is the biz.

...and jen rocks

As I was going through the spec of the bike I was pretty blown away. Almost nothing hasn't been modded, replaced or improved. I had wondered how the engine fins looked so good, and was impressed that they'd all been ground-out flat. Talk about perfectionist...

I think the growing Cafe scene in Europe is only just beginning to appreciate the SC and some of the examples on here provide a pretty high benchmark.

I'd love to feature more of the bikes on here, - and I will (please send pic) but I need to space them out with a few other marques and models, or the Shed might just turn red white & green...

Geeze guys thanks for the heavy pats on the back! Yes it was a lot of work but in my opinion pales in comparison to Geoff's project ! True Grit is what he should call it .....as it takes that and then some to accomplish what he has ! Let alone 848's engineering wizardry......I am in the company of true afficionados as these two and many other briliant guys on this site ...like I said before I am just an old back yard hack with a few ideas ..most of which I picked up over the years from others who went before me but I suppose thats what its all about ...

I'll have more to say about Dutch's site on a separate post

Your bike is the best example for the effect of spoked wheels on the overall esthetics of SC models…

Also cast wheels have their benefits… they can't cope with the sexiness and optical lightness of spoked wheels!




BTW… you did a terrific job!
