That's just stupid. Completely over engineered. In fact it takes over engineering too a whole new level. I would hate to ride that, but worse than that I'd hate to crash it and have all of those unnecessary lumps and bumps flying around in between my legs. Owwww!

Don't really get why anyone has built that, its so ugly and completely impractical, can you imagine how much stuff you'd have stuck in your frame after a run through the woods?
