----Charley,,,I met the original owner of Vintage back around 1993. He was quite a character and a really good guy. His 1st name was Kirk and everyone called him Captain Kirk as he was also a licensed big boat captain. When I saw his operation and the method of manufacturing I ordered one (blue with saddle). They weren't as advanced as yours but were still a hoot. I no sooner got it home (when we lived in Cape Cod) and a woman walked up and said she wanted it. I had paid the princely sum of $12,000 and she bought it for $14,000. Was going to order another but other stuff crept up. I called Vintage not long ago to see if Captain Kirk was still above the dirt and I guess he is from what they said. The new owners have taken thier Speedsters to a whole new level from what I see in your pics. Sounds like you will have a lot of fun with it!!!....Bill S
