Can your seat be too high, if you don't have a seat?
Can't Post
didn't know you could do this with a bike frame. i like the speaker idea for long rides, though....
I think this one is asking for some captions, the hard part is where to begin

So this is what happens when you put the fork in backwards, but have run out of beer and are therefore unable to continue with bike work. You just gotta run with it.
His position looks just as aero as the vast majority of the "critique my position" posters.

Wow. On the one hand I'm so impressed that anyone could make
that work.
On the other hand I'm so depressed that someone would go to
the effort to make that work. :)

Well, he said he was getting out of the hit man business. Must have become a bike messenger. Let's hope none of the packages are C.O.D.

WOW!, that's a ton of work. He even switched the drive side over to keep it standard.
I'd be even more impressed if the boom box was running on his own power output.
He'd probably climb like Pantani on EPO since he has to ride standing up all the time.
Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I'm willing to bet that at first he didn't swap the drive side, until he realized he HAD to. Consider the freewheeling direction of the rear wheel, if he left the drive side unaltered.

That is sick! Look past the obvious, which isn't that easy, and you'll see this dude actually has a super aero position if you put him on the right TT bike. Nice flat back, perfect leg extension, great balance and he looks comfortable with it all. He just needs to drop his head a bit. An aero helmet would really be the icing for this guy.

So how does that rear derailer work? Where is it mounted? Doesn't it hit the "chain" stay? Couldn't you have posted a pic of the other side? :)
