Credit where credit is due. The owner/rider is someone who has absolutely no issues with choosing his or her own way and damn the critics. talk about self confidence

Don't get frustrated, it's a bike. What I do really like that I've never seen before is the matching paint fade on the seatpost. That's cool.

Gotta admire the clever nutcracker positioning of the saddle. Ouch, mile after mile. That said, I do agree 100$ with WGB's comment in post #7.

All this excitement attached to one of the absolute worst piece of trash bike racks of all time. Behold, the Wheel Bender.
Irony??

I really like seeing these bikes when I rarely do. They are actually really cool to look at. This is the same bike as the first picture, but painted white.
