Does yours have 3 dimples on the head tube?
You can see them in the picture of mine, not sure if this is some kind of signature…
Also, this is what he built and is riding
Nah, mine has thick pearl white paint on it, so if they are there, they would be filled in.
Looks like a leader? Certainly more practical than a 24"front funny bike
Yep, he’s got a 735, with carbon Leader forks and carbon rear wheel.
bit of a batmobile

Ah thats so epic! He did get it from gearbrissy, that’s so awesome! 
Edit: Ed says its going strong!
