The one I wqas following on EBay was ex-display with a single tiny chip. Obviously not custom to me, but it was my size, and was still hand made and finished. I put it out of my mind, then one day opened my EBay watching list to see it went for around $800 or less. Still wake up at night in a cold sweat, screaming noooooo!.
Just a pic from t'internet. Shows how bloody light the thing is (I can never be arsed to weigh components, I'm probably the sort of person that would though ;) ). Finally got mine working properly. The system is very sensitive to chainline. Once dialled in, it runs butter smooth though. I'd recommend running it with a 'angry bee' hub (copyright - dancing james), like a hope pro II, or a CK. The contrast between smooth pedaling, and angry bee free wheeling is fecking brilliant.
(Got mine as an extra with a Spot Brand frame I bought. They are a bit pricey after-market. http://www.g-boxx.org/ )
