cool bike!
When I was in the military all the guys at the submarine shop (a km or so in to a mountain) had bikes to get around, and one of them had welded his in to a chopper a bit like that, extended fork and handlebars. Looked rely funny but it handled like "pooh"!

Ah this brings me back to my childhood, I had a Grifter in red.

I remember that bit that went along between the handlebars was supposed to soften a blow. Though it was hard as bricks if I remember rightly!
