Not sure how it works,
or what it accomplishes,
but change must be good.
Sign me up. I want one.

If one side is fixed and the other single speed?

If one side is fixed and the other single speed?The fixed side would dominate.

Unless there is more to it than I can see on picture, the only advantage beyond "maybe" being stronger is that chain tension of a normal bike won't flex the chainstays from side to side.

I expect this setup makes the rear of the frame feel much stiffer than it actually is.
