I was wondering about this too so I googled the guy--says he's 6'7". That + 190mm cranks + super high bb to allow clearance for said cranks = insanely high seat i guess.

PS the fork on that bike is stupid hot.

there is no way that guy is only 6'7". Two of my brothers are 6'7" and that guy is way bigger.

That is an interesting frame in the pic posted by 128. What is going on with the seat tube and seat stays - what is that extra bar in there? Part of the frame, like a stabilizer tube?

I wish I had spokeless wheels like him

They are frame reinforcements to make it stiffer. They are part of the frame.

i need to take pics now that it's built up--though it's a 9-speed at the moment.
i'll build a fixed wheelset for it after the holidays.

Sick frame, but is that a derauiler hanger on the track ends? Regardless, what's that for?

it's built up with a track crank and presently has a 9 speed cassette in the rear--and, obviously, a derailleur (hanging from the derailleur hanger). but, like i mentioned above, i'll be building up a fixed wheelset for it as well. yamaguchi built me a special chain watcher that can be mounted when it's in geared mode. for now i'm only using the 17t-12t cogs on the cassette though, so i won't be using the watcher til it's appropriate.

i also still need to dial a few things in on it.
