I can safely say that the ECO-EXO does not resemble the one in the pic above. I have been busy with Sonic7 orders but am up to date now so it's back on the new machine in the morning. All I can say for def is that the frame will be made from 50mm dia tube with a 2mm wall thickness. It looks cool I feel. It's also a very strong design but not at all heavy. I'm very happy with the proportions so far but I am designing it as I go along so I have no idea what it will look like! I'm doing some sketching now. The trick is to plan 4 or 5 steps ahead of the stage your at. I sometimes use CAD but I am quicker without it and it does not hinder the style flow when I have a free hand. It all depends if I can get the brill picture in my head to pass the information through to my hands and tools. It feels promising at the moment but it is early days. I have stripped a Suzuki Burgman for the project. Frame and panels and lights now going on Ebay. This forum will get the first pics when it's near to completion. Stoneleigh it is then. Promise.

The prototype is at Stoneleigh this weekend.
There is a photo in the eco-exo section too.
