Tbh, for a cafe racer I would recommend finding a good vintage one. Old Schott, Bates, Brooks, Kehoe racers can be found in good condition at a relatively cheap price. And they look a lot better than the racers that I’ve seen from 5* and what Lusso showcases on their website.
For sure. I've been looking for months. I've never seen a vintage one big enough for me. I'm strongly considering a new build from Aero but my past experiences make me wary in sizing.
I've basically decided to take a flyer on 5* if they have horse in a few months, try my sizing. If it works out I can apply the knowledge to Aeros or others. If I sell a used 5* in horse, I'd recoup more than a cowhide type.
