what the hell are those on the front of the bike?

Are they supposed to be forks.....?

And a old fashioned pushbike seat as well.....

Sorry but the gas tank looks strange....

Nup that bike don't do nought for me.
Find it goofy looking myself. Seen one of these in person aswell and not comfortable at all to sit on. But then the whole thing doesn't look right so maybe it's meant to be that way. Each is own I guess.

Yeah the type of seat on it is that you sit upright and yet the handlebars are set for you to lean right over the bike...

So its like WTF....? :whistle: :whistle:

With your avatar you should be full of unreserved glowing praise.

The company that built it is called "Confederate".

I think they're based in New Orleans.

I like their stuff personally, but it probably wouldn't suit NZ very well. Someone would nick the seat for the 1930s David tractor they were restoring.

Looks like something you'd trailer down to Town then park out front of a
Cafe & look wanky :motu:

Wise choice with the trailer. I sure wouldn't risk trying to ride it. Although if you wrecked it in a crash no one could tell the difference :rofl: .
