World Record bike. But different.
Thought this would make a nice change from all those sub-20lbs weight weenie specials on these forums. 
At a little over 4,800lbs 'Kleine Johanna' is officially the world's heaviest bike.
Built by Sebastian Beutler, it has 35 forward gears:

35 gears and training wheels? You can do better on a regular bike with off the shelf 3x12 gearing

Would be a good converstation starter anywhere, but definitely in a Zwift group.
