Bicycle design inspired by SCUL and Akira.

I did this last night: http://www.eternalmachinery.com/bicycle/

The frame is green (and not as thick or round as it should be). The frame and the chain go over the rider's head. I'm interested in opinions.

Update:
I think this guy's is better in every way :/

i think that if there's a derailleur involved anywhere, you're going to have nasty problems with chain whip. Possibly even if there isnt. Otherwise, looks interesting.

Thanks. Yeah, I want multiple gears.
