I'm pretty sure it is a repainted and downgraded version of the same
bike in the foreground. I would have stuck to spokes.

Formula 1 was a 1980s attempt to breathe new life into unfashionable
BMX racing. Races were held on pavement, on miniature autocross-like
courses. The bikes were single ring derailleur bikes with 20" slicks
and flat bars. Haro, Redline, Diamondback, and others made bikes to
meet racing class rules.

Later (like within the last ten years), a framebuilder (and I haven't
been able to figure out again who it was) made a short run of adult-
sized F1 bikes not for racing in a extinct race series, but for their
basic virtues of compactness, ruggedness, simplicity, agility, and
quickness.

The red bike in the photo could be a factory F1 bike (but not the
Haro, which had a crooked top tube) or the revival bike I mentioned.
I think it's probably the latter, because it's significantly taller
than the factory Diamondback F1 bike, with a longer head tube and
chainstays and slenderer rear wishbone.
