I saw two Spinergys in the wild on my ride back from Stillwater yesterday. They were on a Mongoose road bike.

That isn't Puma's first trip into bikeland, either. I saw one of these in the wild a couple years ago.  Kind of a neat bike.

I wanted one when I was a kid... but there weren't enough long, steep hills to make a GPV worth building. Here is more on GPVs. Being that close to the ground and going that fast sounds fun as hell.

Bonus points if you actually owned the bikes and were responsible for their creation? Not quite up to the level of some of the bikes in this thread, but here are two WTF? bikes from my past...

Ive had an itch to build some more...
