I don't think that's the bike you should be worrying about:

Craig Calfee makes some of the most gorgeous bikes on the planet (I'd
kill for a Luna Pista or Tandem).

I like this one too.

A pista version wouldn't get dirty enough to need cleaning.

"The unique 'fork' of Brent Ruegamer's Blackbird concept is designed to
smooth the airflow coming off of the front wheel"..........and so
increase drag on the trailing part of the bicycle.

From a structural standpoint, the front wheel is now cantilevered via a
tortuous load path. Not the most efficient structurally and the front
end will be softer which will affect the handling.

Craig should stop doing this stuff and try to concentrate on what made
him successful in the first place, well made carbon frames. These
circus bikes are a distraction for him and the quality of his frames
has suffered as a result.

You are right, its not legal on the streets in Portland, no hand
brakes!

Legal in most other locales except a few UCI sanctioned events or USCF
roadie events (no hand brakes/fixie). The bike has other UCI issues
besides the aero fender.
