That would be awesome for bike-packing...imagine the size of the frame bag and panniers you could fit on that thing!

The Atomic Zombie one is pretty cool one too, just looks a little too high for my tastes.

I'd have to trade my bike helmet for a parachute.

I had similar thoughts. Just reposition the crank, put an IGH on the drive wheel, maybe add a tensioner for the chain (that's a l-o-n-g chain, lots of flop!), and you're good to go. I just wonder how that stainless steel frame would feel on a longer ride.

There's a guy in the city in which I live has been doing that sort of thing for years.
