My housemate has his stem and forks on back to front, and an extra gear lever on the seat tube the wire of which is attached to the back brake so he can increase the tension on the brake as the pads run down.
This is the man who made and uses a barbecue made out of a 3 wires and a satellite dish (you can smell the paint burning) so I'm used to utility being trumped by quirkiness, which is probably why all horizontal surfaces in the house are covered with neatly arranged springs and cogs, and all vertical surfaces are filling up with maniacally scrawled-on coasters mounted on found plywood hung up with fuse wire and masonry nails.
