Well that makes sense -- it does look as if a lot of thought went into making it work. Wonder what it's like to ride?

rumour has it that it wasn't as bad as you'd expect, very much like a cargo bike.

Two ends of the spectrum . . .

qui ho ancora una mtb De Rosa
It looks like it needs some drop bars
I remember BLB were selling this for a fortune

Always thought they looked like the Forth bridge after it collapsed, could never really see the point of them...

The forth bridge has never collapsed? I believe it was built after the Tay bridge disaster, so to regain confidence in big bridges, they upped the safety margin from 3 times to 7 times as strong as it needed to be.

Surly Ogre with an interesting bar setup.

Interesting use of some Bob bars, custom welding job for a rack bar combination. Old GT frame I'm assuming? Very nice.

that isn't completely stupid (it's a little bit stupid). given it's use is going to be all road I'd think the brace would stand up to the abuse. you could easily do something similar without the need to weld too.

Yeah I'm sure one could conjure up some sort of mounting system that'd require no welding, perhaps with supports attaching to the upper brace of the bars.

That said these are bob bars so the top bit with the brace is actually one piece,
