What do you think the DeWalt racers have that are in the US.... and TBH if that'what the Aero was offered with then I'm sure I'd still have one.

I personally whilst I appreciate both the links you have been posted neither realy match up quite to the vintage feel of the original but then again I don't think they were intended to.

The first with the HD engine is an interesting modern interpretation, but the "thick-set" HD engine and the double wishbone suspension really detract from the original architecture.

As for the Juli it seems that "he did it his way" in a mechano and nails sort of way.

All replicas I've seen tend to end up somehow screwing up the front end proportions either due to engine size/set or revised suspension & steering both of which are more than evident in the Ace....
