rarest bike/frame

Re:

There are probably many one offs, prototypes and custom frame.

Better to concentrate on production models that were around in significant numbers 100s or 1000s but few mofels survived or are on the market.

My 2 bikes are on gf i have the next model down but prefer the colours on the othet. I did habe a chance to buy oy back then but didmt.

The other is a saravrn special editiom that i gave away in px arggggghhh.

Re: Re:

Breezer Kite...........

Only ever seen one for sale

RBG

It never came to production, so the one for sale must be a proto?
Very very nice bike!

Re:

What about the home produced stuff.

Dave Yates, DONKIS NOB, there are a few about, Chas Roberts White Spider, I know of three or maybe four of these, Bigfoot / Ozone / Smokestone, only 200 ever made, Dave Lloyd Cats Wiskas, I know of five (two are in my garage), or BEEZ NEEZ, I only know of two, or Chaos Theory, again, I know of two, Greg Fuquay, I know of five, HOTTA, I have never seen one, other than in brochures, then going overseas Hartmann Ram, only know of one.

There have been a few Hartmanns on this forum, one of them I just sold.
But pretty rare!

one of them I just sold.

NNnnnnnooooooooooo :facepalm:

The Hartmann was one of two carbon e-stay bikes I found I could not afford back in 1992/3 (the other was the HOTTA, ohhh for a time machine and a bag of cash).

Fingers crossed the one you sold was too big / small for me. :evil:

Always good to see different designs but ultimately anything that isnt two triangles is flawed, probably why it never made it into production.

How about Ibis Szazbo Ti?

There are a huge number of reasons why a prototype might not enter production, especially from an extremely successful, radical, maker who doesn't rely on one approach.
