It'll be cool when I see some pix of someone actually riding it. What's the deal with the 2nd chain ring in the middle of the chain?

Okay, I found a pic of you sitting on it (nice purse btw) let's see some pix of you get to work on it.

putting free rings in a chain is a cheap and easy way to tension them

This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen.
I love it.

Interesting, though it does look like it's gonna break right in half.

How do you keep the free ring from falling out or moving around?

As Tomboyms said, it did experience some almost catastrophic failure. The frame did not fold, though, it was the fork that gave out at the crown to give it that low rider look. I'll need to weld up a new fork for its next trip to the bicycle races.
Ysopex: Thanks for the compliment on the purse. My cyclist friend in Vancouver, WA made that for me. I keep telling him to quit his day job as a welder and just make the bags for a business.
