Can you ride it? Yes you can!

You may recognize this unusual bike from our Facebook page. The owner is Brandon Derbowka who happens to be a skilled rider, so we are going to feature 3 of his videos here.

Brandon is such a good rider. I really hope he gets around to posting more footage of his riding. He has fans he doesn't even know about.

correct me if i'm wrong, but aren't those frames made by chimera?
...
what's the head tube angle like? looks like it's 70 ~ 68 deg-ish; very choppered.
the seat tube angle is like 65+ deg!

When I met Brandon in 1999, he was doing cross footed hikers,
and spinning tricks, and pedal times.  Since then he's learned
the hardest chit EVER!  He beats those frames into shape using
a hammer and they are made out of mild steel tubing that he finds
laying around.  Craziest rider EVER!  He has many patented tricks
including the "Russian Dancer" which is in the first video at around
1:57
CHEESUS!!!!!
