"Ken,

Do you have photos of this bike posted on the web somewhere? I'd love to see some. I've never seen one of these bikes.

Best, David"

hi David,

There was a Hi-E Cosmopolitan displayed at a previous CR get-together. This is a picture that was posted by the photographer: http://i1.tinypic.com/2ch0pz9.jpg

The construction technique definitely shows Harlan's past as an engineer in the aviation business. If I recall correctly, he had spent many years designing aircraft structures, including some work on the wing of the Lockheed C-5 Galaxy.
