Try this monstrosity from Cinelli

Yes, that really is a 700c rear / MTB 26" front combination. Where did
it all go wrong, from the people who brought you this...

Actually the raleigh chopper lives on. They have just been relaunched
with much fanfare in the UK. The three speed gear change has gone
though. Back to the original point I think that manufaturers are
involved in an ugly bike contest they havent told us about. Entrants
include the Pinarello Dogma, the Kuota Ksano, The Cinelli Carbon XLR8R 2
etc etc

Yes, I've seen one. I had one of the 1970s originals and these have
lost the two best features - the T-shift and the banana seat :-( I
expect it's still a pig to ride though.
