i have been reading up on turbines made of ceramic- supposedly it's a much more advanced material than what we are "used" to. (like coatings)
lighter, stronger and faster spool up

I used to have a Huffy made completely out of iron with a yellow, metalic-flaked banana seat. I also cut the forks off of another bike and elongated mine but self-welded them with force. It was fantasmic until about the third wheelie.
Oh! I almost forgot about the 21" sissy bar.
