How is that even possible?

I can't even think long enough to Work out how they did it.

Its easily done if youve bought a LHD freewheel by mistake, I bought a lovely ACS claws freewheel that turned out to be lhd, been sat on a shelf ever since.
the entire crank will loosen itself while riding which would be amusing to say the least

Looks like it has just been thrown together to sell it......or.......put together and thinks it's fooked with no drive, so decided to sell it

A prominent Facebook group leader once built his new frame up like this, whilst me and a few friends sat smirking. It wasn't until he turned the bike onto it's wheels and tried to pedal that he realised what he'd done, cue much laughter and 20 odd years of reminders. This will have a standard freewheel but obviously won't move you forwards if you crank it. It will go quite fast backwards.
