Awesome laser/lathe.
Bike really just a piece of curio tho.
I don't know if curio is the right word...he's definitely catering to people with money to burn that want something different but the bikes are just as well made as any other custom build. I suppose the custom/bespoke bike builder scene in general has a penchant for 'curio' though...
Here's some of his older work:
and a clean shot of the new one:

I went to this guy's workshop a year or two ago. Pretty amazing stuff. Mainly for weekend warriors but the craftsmanship is impressive.

I have a used nitto RB009 which is more designed as a base bar for classic time trial bikes, but this link should give you an idea of what they look like (on my bike, old set-up). I will part with them for cheep. Been looking for a good home. Whoever mentioned sytace stratos are totally right, though - I even had the 800's (steep drop) and they were totally comfortable.

Yeah we have parked on Ashwin St many times and have been locking up this way for years (although going through the rear wheel is indisputable it was not really possible in this awkward location)...I always wondered whether it was better to park your bike somewhere out of sight or in plain view...in the end I think this proves that hiding it just makes it easier to conceal the fact that you are stealing sh*t. This was the first time we tried going behind that brick wall and really only because the usual lock-up posts were full. Definitely investing in a second lock though...
