    Anyone else come across these? Posh bikes from one of our own. Pretty cool idea. And I must say I really like the name.

    Looks like they're being pitched at the higher end of the market. Rothmans connection is left of field in this day and age, but as a motor racing fan, I love it. Like Lenny's Gulf liveried BMC.

    Would be great to see them do well. Wonder what the prices will be like. :)

    Painted and finished by hand, each to its owner’s unique design, to the highest of standards.

    Sounds nice...expensive but nice. I can only wish them well as an Irish business.

    As long as their grandmother is on boards, that's OK.

    The Camero just needs a small white stripe to be the boards bike

    Turasbikes.com offer same custom paint job. Their frames come from china and are painted to order too.

    Yeah Turas' are fine bikes too. I've seen a few of em on the road. As coincidence would have it I saw lad tonight on a "fifty one". Not sure which model it was. Had an aero look to it and a black and red paint job. - Nice machine.
