Zis is how we do things on RUSSIAN velodrome!

Have you ever seen anything quite so nutty as this?
The riding position isn’t quite as damn crazy as it looks at first, as you can see by going to the original Bike Cult page where I got the picture, after seeing it on Bike Pirates.
There’s something almost steampunk about it, though. There’s the insane bar position — welded onto the forks, FFS! Back when track bikes were steel, you could weld anything to anything, apparently. At least in Soviet Russia. The graphics remind me, for some reason, of the album cover of Jeff Wayne’s War of the Worlds and the pulp sci-fi of the 1950s.
I love this machine.
