Cool road bike I found

I was on my way back from a job site when I saw a rollback truck loading a dumpster that was filled with trash. No big deal, except on top of that trash sat an old looking road bike. I flipped a U turn (right next to a No U-Turn sign) and went up and asked if I could have it. They guy said yeah, so I took it down.

I had to take the front wheel off to get it in my trunk, and that's when I noticed something was wrong. The crank arms were pointing forwards, and there were two chains. I had just stumbled across and old 80s Alenax transbar bike.

After doing some research, I found out that these were complete s**t, but I still love the way it looks. I don't really care how much it costs to get going, I just have to ride it around town and see what people say.

My camera's charging right now, but I'll post some pics in just a little bit. If anyone knows where I could find detailed schematics of how the transbar system works I'd appreciate it.
