Bent tube is pointless, a normal length seatpost and a straight tube would have done the job. Mixed wheel sizes is impractical as well as ugly, as you have to carry twice as many spare tubes. Building a new bike with a threaded headset and quill stem is an automatic fail in the 21st Century.
If it's an 80s/90s lo pro which has been butchered to lower the seat lug and BB, then the above criticism is void, but it attracts the same comment as the Polorrell; a funny way to get that result, but whatever.
