Hi
For those that did not see my work in progress photos and info, i am a part time custom bike builder under the name of Taimoshan Cycle Works and for my day job I run a telecoms company in London.
I am the designer and builder of Taimoshan a Super Cafe Racer.
The bike was designed and built around a heavily custom built replica Norton Featherbed race frame and a 1000cc Aprilia RSV Factory Super Bike motor.
Taimoshan has a Ducati front end, wheels and brakes, a hybrid honda Unit pro-link swingarm, a custom hand made Aliuminium Manx tank, seat unit and rear sub frame.
Other interesting features are the under seat radiator and electronics package.
The bike has taken 12 months to design and build, but no completed I have just started 2 more custom racer style bikes, one is my take on a Vincent and the other is an Art Deco BSA A65 Oil In Frame, GP racer.
I hope you enjoy my pictures of the finished bike. :doug
Best regards
John Pellew

The Paul Smart Ducati rep was almost unrideable, not strictly a cafe racer, but it felt like one.
