Saw the opposite on the road the other day, the seat post was about two feet higher than the stem, it looked daft & un-rideable but I was expecting great things from the rider, instead he wobbled off at the lights and looked really uncomfortable.
Also saw a hipster riding a fixie with tiny handlebars, they were literally the width of the blokes hands.
There seems to be a competition to have the silliest looking bike in town.

WTF? A bit of a piss-take, if you ask me. That bike, or it's current incarnation could realistically be had for about £400 - £450.
That 'thing' would be overpriced at £300. Claims of Ultegra brakes, but I spy a noodle on the rear, and I don't recall a 'V' brake option in the Ultegra range. That extended stem could easily be removed, and a 'standard' size put on to return it to 'normal' specification, but to be honest, I wouldn't go near it - seller is an obvious 'chancer' looking to make a buck on the back of the current public interest in cycling. There's no way that bike is worth anywhere near the £600 asking price.
