Yes Phil,

Colourways are important to get the period feel. I had already decided [ 7 years ago with the aborted TR1 B/T ] colours would be a light coffee with cream [ buttermilk ] contrast. Then I came across the H-D tracker pictured above and that convinced me. Hence the bike name “Cafe Creme”

I’ve had to abandon the styling cue of the Motobecane forks – as the springs [ top ] will interfere with the lock of the steering. Second choice was a slimmer version of the H-D springer. Only this time I intend to use a single coil over RAMSHOX unit at the top – which give the look of the springer but with a practical solution to the fact that the Bantam forks have NO hydraulic dampening !!

One of the perks of being the instigator and development guy on the RAMSHOX is that when I want a special for myself – I can just ask my pal Adrian ! He’s bringing up a sample of my order tomorrow – and while he’s here I can also ask him for the twinshox for the Glemseck !! tee hee.
