i know this isnt technically a "bicycle" since there are no pedals to cycle, but i though you cycle enthusiasts might get a kick out of it anyway. its a "flipped" (upside down) chrome bmx frame with bent springer fork, monkee bars/road stem, velour bananna seat/sissy bar, skullcap grips, dice valve covers, and i installed old cruiser handlebars (i added grip tape) to the seat post (now under the bike) for footrests. there is also a noise maker pipe on the back wheel, and two brakes. some pics of other bikes ive built are at http://www.myspace.com/masterfaster just click on my pics. if your a builder of wierd bikes put me on your myspace friends list so i can check em out when you post new ones. it doesnt have brake cables yet cuz im lazy, but its not getting rode till labor day so ill put some on the night befor i go, wait till the last minute as always!

That's wicked.

It makes me wonder if I should just ride my Giant Stiletto down Talimena. Its great at downhills. I promise not to pedal. ;)
