It looks like he has short bullhorn bars turned towards him, and almost a 1:1 gear ratio!
trials 1899 style!
look at those bar spins- he does 'em like its no one's business.

I'm skeptical of any video. Just because it says copyright 1899 doesn't mean it's so. Suppose I wore a "Bill Clinton" nametag... does that make me Bill Clinton?

that is pretty amazing (i was skeptical at first too... but it's entierly plausable after searching around the web)
I love his little backwards 'swosh' he does with the bike to get the pedals horizontal again about 3/4 into the clip

I had to save this to disk first. A fun tandem is a little bit into the clip, I'd love a close up of it.
