It dont look like it would be real, But I think it would cause a few wrecks riding one down the road.
What would Jesus ride???

Very cool! I love how closely you followed the original design sketch. Beautiful execution and finishing on the final bike. Looks like fun to ride, although that trail geometry is evil. :)
