Exile Cycles do some of the cleanest most minimalistic bikes out there.

A bike with front and rear wheels in the same zip code.

I don't think I'd actually ride one but it's the minimalism that appeals to me whatever the bike.

I was just kidding you Clive, Like J.Leno says he will not ride a bike he cant see through.
It is nice and clean looking,and I'm a stickler for clean lines .

I don't go for the long and lean profiled bikes. Especially with zero rise handlebars.

Russel and his crew used to make some nice bikes. Now, not so much. That rusty Evo with Misumi Max posing on it in The Horse a couple years ago is a perfect example of...bleah... :P Bike and broad...

I view a long bike with the same disdain I have for motards and repli-racers. Waste of a possibly decent engine, put it in a rigid or swingarm cruiser frame, something that can go the distance, with at least a modicum of comfort.

If it wont haul at least a 12 pack, I dont want it.

Thats such a lie,, yea, Id be hapy to have that bike. Id sell ot, buy some classy riding gear & a few odds & ends.. & maybe go long on the Euro.

Is there a (performance/functional) reason for having the front wheel so far from the bike?
