This is a bicycle project whose aim is to create a cycle with a retro style mixed with a slightly more contemporary cafe racer model. Influenced by new and vintage fashions, this bike rides extremely low, and the material used to create it is chosen for its aesthetic beauty as well as its structural virtues. One of these materials is copper, which makes this a total steampunk bike without any of the steam shooting out of it. Perhaps you’d like some propulsion?
The rest of the materials other than the copper are modern – lots of carbon fiber is chosen and bright colors will come into the project this bike into the future and deep into the past. With the best of both worlds working for you in this masterfully designed two-wheeler, you’ll be blasting down hills in streaks of chrome, copper, and gold in no time. Flashy!
Designer: Carlos Pereira
That doesn't look comfortable at all.

I like the safety pin hinge carbon fibre wrap around the bottom bracket and the monocque rear strut. Why not monocque front suspension fork as well following the theme? I'd lose the thigh impaling handlebar extensions though; they'd make a collision a lot more serious.

Have you ever tried to ride a racing bike or something which has similar position?? Come on seriously… How can that be retro or cafe racer?

I have a sneakie feeling that the torque which could be applied from the pedals could easily exceed the shear strength of the indentations on the drive belt.

Re the belt drive: http://www.carbondrivesystems.com/overview.php?la…. They exist now. You might watch some of the videos on the same site. I used to drive a BMW 800ST which is a belt drive motorcycle that will do 0-60 in 3.5 seconds. I wouldn't worry about torque on a bicycle.
Thanks for the info Mike. Hopefully, I will never stop learning.
