Insanely Specd Bike

I saw this bike on an online bike forum Cyclofined for strange bikes which could find no other home online. The bikes owner said he named this bike "B" - short for Beatrice after the svelte, lethal beauty of "Kill Bill". I somehow question if you could actually refer to this bike as being either svelte or lethal, it is however rolling on Aerospokes and if you look closely you'll even see a shiny new xtr derailleur hanging off the frame. I think if anything this bike can only describe things about its owner who must be insane. My suspicions were further reinforced by by this statement regarding the bells on his bicycle,

"
Gremlin Bell - So the story goes; Evil Road Gremlins plague bicyclers and often attach themselves to bikes. In fact, Road Gremlins are responsible for most bikes problems. As it turns out, they can't bear the presence of a bell. They get trapped in the hollow of the bell and the constant ringing of the bell drives them insane. They lose their grip and fall to the roadway, creating potholes when they hit the surface. The potholes are proof that Gremlin Bells do their job!"
