Reverse bars cockpit (Kinda like Oslund's, but with a twist)

Yup, those road bars sawed to stubs and pointing at you.
This way you can have 'Oslunds' stubby cockpit' PLUS a classic Cruzbike cockpit.
Will only work with short cranks (140mm like Oslund's Vendetta).

Dual controls in question are 11 speed Shimano 105, works great this way.
Cable routing is suboptimal, but I'll think of something.

In thought; expanding the paradigm of traversity
Well if you are hitting 50 kph like Larry holding the bars in the first photo you're an incredible cyclist. I wouldn't want to be too far from the brakes.

Me? No :)
Before switch to road bars, I've used those:

During cruising and downhills, I used to grab upper portion of the bars, at the curves. I've actually hit about 65 kmh this way. It is indeed not as stable as wider grip, but stable enough for traversing well-known roads.
