Spooky Special Patrol Group(SPG)- the strongest, stiffest, fastest track racing bikes built in America.
100% percent custom drawn/butted/tapered/swaged/smashed/formed aluminum materials from ProTube in Connecticut, handbuilt one at a time in Vermont by a world-championship winning framebuilder.
I'm a fan.
