The Atomic Zombie one is pretty cool one too, just looks a little too high for my tastes.
Even better use a Pinion 18 speed gear box, a Rohloff, an Alfine 11 within the frame and a 12 speed groupset at the wheel. You would have just enough gears to get up nearly anything. With some fatter tires you could really have some fun not the steepest of steep MTB trails while loaded down with all the gear..
I love Colin Furze and his crazy projects.
