The rear fender looks like a jai alai "scoop" (dunno know what they're really called).

I like it. More than I would spend, though.

It wouldn't take much to fix it. Drop that rear fender about 4 inches and swap out those handlebars for a start.

definately not a cookie cutter bike. It's not for me, but I must tip my hat to the owner for not following suit. Sometimes it takes ***** to be different.

It's not that bad. Nothing a new rear wheel and fender, and maybe new bars wouldn't fix. Oh wait, people do that to stock bikes anyway!

Again, not that bad with a little retro love.
