Gravity Bike. Has front brakes... and likely some lead shot in the frame to bring it up to 23kg. Usually they have some knee rests as well as the rear sets. Would go very, very very fast down hills.

I remember people building similar bikes by flipping a BMX frame upside down.

No special wide tires, no long low frame, and no full face helmet. And all the time hoping not to meet that wayward rock in the road.

From a local buy/sell/trade advertisement.
I have no idea how this, this thing steers.
It looks as though no expense was a spared in the construction of the front seat.
