what's that connecting the head-set of the top bike to the bottom one?? other than that, looks pretty straight-forward

it looks to be welded together with a pipe extending from the top bike, to the bottom bike's fork other than that pretty straight foward

You might want a piece they dont have there, going from the back triangle part to the gears on the back tire for added seat support.

There's a guy in my city who has one, his name is Jon. We talk sometimes, next time I see him I'll ask him, but chances are you'll have an answer before then.

$24 000 tall bike (was appraised @ 25-35K USD, but sold for 24k at auction]
called the Lamplighter, it was made in the late 1800s to allow lamplighters to light the gas street lamps. also notice the wooden wheels. craziness.
