The seat post isn't high. The seat TUBE is high look at the photo and where the seat post clamp is. The seat bar drop is insane but you are wrong about the height of the seat post.

True enough, though I think you're splitting semantic hairs.

Indeed it is. This bike has been discussed at length of this forum.
Anyone saying that seatpost isn't insanely high is crazy; it's a 54cm frame for a 6'6" rider (Ondřej Sosenka). The whole bike is designed to be light and stiff, yet still meet the regulations for an UCI Hour Record.

It's basically a pursuit frame without the sloping top tube. At least it was done purposefully and not just pieced together, like "oh this frames too small I guess I'll just buy a super long seat post and everything will just be super"

Got a brake (bad cable job but who cares) and foot retention. I think the handle bars look kinda funky and fun. I like that bike.

Looks like every other crappy conversion that someone who put time into it to make it a fixed gear. Nothing too special or bad, just a polished turd.

^^D'oh, too slow^^
Yea.
.. like when it's rollin'. Christ those are tight, I used to cut my bars to shoulder/hip width but that's way too skinny. I'd hate to have to carve a back bumper at speed with those bars.
Is that mechanical rider holder used so no forward momentum is given to the record attemptee? Or to prevent the now infamous 'I'll crash him off the start" launch? Or..HEY no damn running shoes on the track!!!!

The color scheme ain't my thing, but aside from the number plate with at least one skull on it and the rim stickers still in place, this bike isn't all that bad.
However, in the text that accompanies the entry, the reader is told that he/she shan't forget to "shred the rad"...

I actually saw a bike with grips longer than the bars earlier this month
according to the owner it is ridable

He grabs the end of the Ourys, stretches them out, and rides them like a floppy little north road bar

Now it's 2008, and the handlebar trend is finally catching up to my awesome ideas.
