"only one like that in the whole world, and made by the best" I take it you mean Howard Langham's Konig, that was built by Rod Bellas

Mike/dick..... Credit to you..... Weapon:)

Not that you are biased in any way John!!!He says,tongue in cheek!

I like Howards machine a lot, it was built with a certain passion for Konig.

Not funny Mr Chandler Built by us

My comments were meant to be neither funny nor childish and rude as ynys-mong suggested in a pm. I was merely pointing out that a. there is another like it and b. there are other bike builders out there doing an equally good job. I have nothing against MR, his people or his bikes, however as all those who have seen Howards bike, and others Rod has built know, they are a extremely well made.

It is just my opinion, I favour Rod’s bikes, some favour MR, some LCR etc, that’s life and I am sure we will all make our own mind up.

We are all entitled to our opinion and as this is a public forum I am entitled to voice mine, if people don’t like it then I suggest they voice their's in public.

John,no offence intended.

They are all beautiful creations built by very talented engineers.

I will second that David they are all talented engineers.

An engineer is a professional practitioner of engineering, concerned with applying scientific knowledge, mathematics, and ingenuity to develop solutions for technical problems. Engineers design materials, structures, and systems while considering the limitations imposed by practicality, regulation, safety, and cost.The word engineer is derived from the Latin roots ingeniare ("to contrive, devise") and ingenium ("cleverness").

Engineers are grounded in applied sciences, and their work in research and development is distinct from the basic research focus of scientists.The work of engineers forms the link between scientific discoveries and their subsequent applications to human needs and quality of life.
I think that backs up what we all can see in their creations.
