hanebrink used to make those. they're meant for riding on sand, like on beaches. hanebrinks had Y shaped chainstays and a normal width bottom bracket.

close, but not quite.

Hannebrink's bike has such a wide back end that it used two bottom brackets to more the drive train over far enought to clear the rear. Plus, I seem to recall it using a double reduction gearset, so you'd have the stuper-low gears you need to ride up sand dunes.

I've actually ridden a Hannebrink around quite a bit, and let me just say: an interesting experience. Fun bike, but way too much money for the fun.

Might be fun on a wide steep trail. Reminds me of the Yamaha Fat Cat or Honda Big Wheel; motorcyles with ATV tires.
