Seems alright I guess. Nowt too special.
The thing that puzzles me is why wouldn't you want to state who is making the frames and specs and price etc? The only reason I can think of would be based around the idea of pulling the wool over the potential customer's eyes.
'cos if its an experienced builder it adds reputation to the frame and your company, and if its a young guy it helps develop his/her reputation and can easily be sold as a good thing. By not saying it suggests that its either a conversion or a re-spray of someone else's track frame.
My gut feeling is that its just your bike, with decals you had made up because you liked 'em and wanted on the bike. Which is fine I guess. When I see a photo of two or more identical bikes (different sizes allowed) then I guess I will be proved wrong and you will have your buisness.
Assuming you are having them built etc and its genuine its still a bit of a shame. Well not really, but it just doesn't compete with young emerging frame builders hand building their own frames and selling them. At least not too my mind.
And naming the bike after a joke on an internet forum. Bit silly really aint it. Suggests the whole thing is a joke. No? Interesting that tweed isn't written on the frame either. Leading me back to my guess at it just being your bike.
