Not sure if this is "wacky" or a positive testament to the human spirit.
If a human can think that this is worth restoring to ride, maybe we will survive Covid
The idea that this is in fair condition and just "needs at least one cable" passes all understanding.

I see drop bars flipped up into DUI configuration all the time. I see mtb bar ends rotated to sad 90 degree goalposts, but I've never seen cruiser bars flopped into Texas longhorn pursuit bar position. Introducing the world's heaviest time trial bike!

I have to appreciate that someone went through the effort to make these once. But they do not look safe.
To be fair, the seller does say they feel solid but should only be used for decorative purposes only.
