I've heard of people doing that to keep from getting their saddle stolen, but never seen it.

1. How in the heck do you use brake levers mounted like that?
2. Are the handlebars connected to the steering wheel?
3. What is the purpose of the mirror mounted on the rear rack?
This guy has more time and money in it than $800 so it's a real bargain. Better snatch it up before Pee Wee does.

Everything in front of the head-tube will turn with the steering, so bars may be indirectly connected to the steering wheel (which does run through the head tube to the fork).
If it was a car, that disc on the back would hold the spare wheel and tire. On a bike, I'm not sure. Typically the front and rear wheels are different so a single spare wheel wouldn't make much sense. However, it would be possible to make the front and rear have the same spacing, and thus would accept a spare wheel.

I posted this one before. It's still not moving, at $70. It seems to have a pretty quality set of silver Shimano 8-speed with Rapid, not EZ fires. Perhaps Deore level or contemporary equivalent, though I'm not certain. Maybe it's not for sale to non-members, maybe we aren't buying because of Prop 8? Maybe it's the weird 6 bolt crankset or the Shimano decal that apparently says "SHIMANO DECAL"?

Is it sad that I can almost always find an ad for a "Fugi" bike? I mean it's four letters long and the letters are more than an inch tall

Yes, but a parade dictates it would have to be ridden. I'm not sure that's even possible? I guess it could be towed behind a vehicle
