Bikes: Diamond Back Sorrento (Converted to commuter) and a fixed gear from unknown origins (the only thing I know about it is the saddle is Origin 8, everything else is a mystery.)

Real. It was a design competition and the video is the winning team's submission. The URL is a parts list and instructions for assembly.

not exactly real in the sense of it being a product/prototype for the market. just a one-off design by a special effects competition.

If it accidentally fell on someone's head, you'll be sued. (Maybe Germany is not that lawsuit-obsessed )

I don't want that lock. I want that bike.
