Has anyone made a uni out of an old bicycle by sawing off the rest of
the frame off the seat-column post? Jamming the freewheel and fixing
the bike in a particular gear should yield a uni with pedals out in
front of the rider?

I have seen a drawing of such a contraption in "Creative Clowning",
but I wonder has anyone here made on it?

One side effect of this is you'll get a wheel/forks/handlebars thingy
"for free". (What are these things called?)
