Seen it before. It's a fixie culture thing.
Nothing like having two sets of chains to get your trousers caught in and a pedal that requires Loctite.

Probably ridden by a scrawny dude with a manicured full beard, flannel shirt, skinny jeans and narrow leather fashion boots who smells of latte and watered down craft beer.

Years ago I saw a Masi frameset with a chainring like this at a swapmeet. The seller modified it that way.
I dont know why he did it.. i was too infuriated to ask.

But if this person thinks their bike looks cool, they obviously have no clue because that stem is horrific...

All of those parts may have their place somewhere, but this combination is rather unsuccessful.

Now it one could somehow engage and disengage cogs and run different gearing on each side it would be interesting. No chain shifting, no internal gearing, just flip a lever and go from 40-14 to 34-21. Obviously chain tensioners would be needed.

Not just the stem. The saddle and the crankset are the only components with even a hint of appeal.

Isn't that one of those kids track bikes that one of our members was restoring?

Just because you can have more, does not mean it's better.......

An effort to balance the driving forces by having a drive on both sides and thus reduce frame flex? Or someone did it just for fun.

Reminds me, I have to post an update about them from yesterday. All have 38-40t chainrings now, though I'm trying to get 40 or 39's on them. Turns out they'll all need half links too because of their really short track ends.

I really like symmetry in just about everything, so, I "want" to like this bike, but I just can't, my love of function overrides my love of symmetry, it's almost like looking at a face with 4 eyes, its just psychologically disconcerting.
Plus, that stem is my least favorite thing I have seen this week month.

I am not a flipper but have bought two bikes in Portland to keep them from hipster fixie hell and this eases my mind as does Spaghetti Legs having a nice Tommasini on C&V Sales here for a good price trying to keep it off ebay or CL to avoid hipster fixie hell.
