There's all sorts of goofy going on with this bike. The seat post was flipped around backwards with the saddle slammed down close to the top tube. If you look at the pic, the B17 is pretty far forward. I think whoever rode it had way too big of a bike, at least in it's last permutation. SunTour was a common upgrade BITD, this one obviously done by someone who had more ambition than ability.
