Seriously though I do wish someone "like" Kalex would do a frame
or rolling chassis at reasonable price for sport/hobby folks
Probably not possible though to deliver at a price sport/hobby folks would/could pay
Those are beautiful. Too bad EBR is building a bottom rung bike. I can imagine their aluminum frame design with fuel inside it being a real neat package on a small bike. The aluminum framed 4t singles I've dealt with, especially a KX450f, were a PITA to work on. The frame spars get in the way of everything. In contrast, the KTM trellis I had on my various 950s was a joy. Lots of room to get in there once the tank/tanks were off.
