That can't be real, Shirley?
anyway, doesn't it stop being aero when the wind is hitting your back?
yes it's real.
built to do 1 thing and 1 thing only, go ******* fast on the track. it was built for the pursuit. it did pretty good and there are a few examples of it being used in TT as well (which I think is what Woz is showing but having been stripped back to 1 gear and had different forks added). the TT bike used a more standard quill stem and bar on the top so it wasn't quite so extreme, it also had less "aero" on the tube set.

good article on a restored pursuit frame here
