This is my bike, a reverse mullet assembled from cheap ebay parts and from old bikes that my friends donated to me. The more you look at it the jankier it gets, but I love it all the same.

there’s a bunch of silly lore to this bike, I had a lot of help from the posters over at bikewrench. Every weird ass decision on this bike had a reason behind it.
As an example, it has smaller front wheel because at the time I had only 26 inch wheels from a friend’s donor bike. When I bought the frame, I was under the impression that it was an old mtb frame or something. Only noticed that they didn’t fit after installing, so I ended up buying only a rear 700c wheel and kept the front as-is. Worked out though, as the threaded fork let me put in that adjustable stem for comfortmaxxing.
Then I realized that fork could fit a 700c wheel anyways, so it’s back to hunting for a used 700c front wheel now.
