Only if u grew up in the circus

put taller bars on it and ride it standing up

Well with the crank on that side it would go backwards, I think you're supposed to sit on the handlebars and steer from the rear. Looks like fun but I'd probably get hurt... :lol:

You sure? As far as my mind can tell it seems like it would move just as normal bike would..

thats what im thinking, just upside down

This bike works just like a "tall" bike without the "tall"
Only thing is that the chain stays are not strong enough to handle much weight.
I may introduce a second set of stays when I learn how to weld :wink:

Oh okay the upside down frame threw my perception off.

Not really, perfectly good bike until the guy @ the landfill scoops it up with the :shock: "jaws of death" :shock: to throw it into the scrap pile! I put a different chainring on it, lost the fenders & another set of wheels & it rides just fine now. 8)
