This is a mostly beautiful looking Cafe Racer from Estonia.   I think it is a good looking bike but the rear tire is just plain ugly.  I know I am definitely showing my age here and some of the younger folks won't have any idea what I am talking about when I say Stingray. But this reminds me of a Schwinn Stingray with a drag slick rear tire. (By the way I learned to wheelie a Stingray and then was able to wheelie my Honda Elsinore with no problem) Schwinn or some other bicycle maker made a Stingray/Stingray type bicycle with a rear bicycle drag slick.  It just didn't make sense to me.   This 749 Cafe Racer with a drag slice does not either.  The bike's look is hideous with that rear tire.

This is what a Schwinn Stingray looked like.  If you have seen "On Any Sunday" you will see a kid popping a great wheelie at the very beginning of the movie.
