This seems like a horrible idea.
 
Is it just me?

There were four others I was going to post, but I accidentally closed the window and I'm lazy. Seems like others have had no problems...

This has been posted on the Ebay thread. I think the consensus is that its wierd but works. I'd be wary.

I'd be pissed when some joker with wire cutters comes and chops the bike in half.

What happens when you do the good old stiffness test to a slingshot? (Stand beside bike, set pedal on your side at 6 o'clock, grab bar and saddle, lean bike away from yourself, push pedal down with your foot as hard as you can) Normal frames flex about 1-3 cm, I think. That bike looks like it would become a pretzel.

it's got all sorts of fancy seatube/bb reinforcements to prevent that.
