Wonder how it corners... (my guess: come to a stop, lift and point bike in desired direction, start pedaling again) But cool nonetheless :)

No tyres, maybe, but those trainers have Continental “Traction Compound” soles.

Haha. So it's quite a cool marketing stunt then.

Like the frame-fit pump going THROUGH the bottle cage?!? :unbelievable: Guess that’s why there’s an extra cage mounted under the down tube…

Since the bike lacks pedals you probably don't need to carry a whole lot of water.

I don't know what's worse - the negative drop or the white stem-spacers combo

The tyre combo alone is a punishable offence. On a bike like that rules need to be respected even more.

For a hardcore classics rider (the cobbled ones) I can deal with the cassette disc to keep the derailleur out of the spokes if it's not too visible. I.e. not the Mavic one.
Ride it like you stole it

By today's standards, not sure that one qualifies as a freak.

Yea, not a freak. The rider might have an injury or severe lack of flexibility.
