AL ASAD, Iraq – Sergeant Dustin W. Lambert, an airframes mechanic with Marine Aviation Logistics Squadron 26, poses with the chopper he built to move around the air base in a timely and unique fashion. Lambert, from Alamosa, Colo., built his bike from scrap aluminum tubes he scavenged from around the air base.

All it's lacking is a big engine!
As for bicycles, mine went in the trash the day I turned 16, haven't touched one in over 50 years and never intend to!
The only substitute for horse power is more horse power!

I believe it is one inch "T6" aluminum. Commonly used in airframes, bicycle construction. I could be wrong though...

That bike looks uncomfortable as all get up! You have to sit on your own ba||$ to pedal it!
