Steve, a few notes about the Blériot graphics: Grant named the bike more after the plane than the man, I think. The plane is so simple and sturdy that copies of it are still being built today by hobbyists; it's quite accessible.
The portrait of Louis is really him, not just any olden-days pilot. The depictions of airplanes are taken from mechanical drawings of the very machine Louis Blériot constructed and flew across the English channel. The tiny waving pilot on the headbadge is flying the real thing with the real cliffs of Dover in the background. Even the propeller on the seat tube decal is not just any propeller, but one from a Blériot. Of course no frame graphics will appeal to everyone, but these are authentic in detail. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
