>>1971543I hate these. Having the top of the head tube below the top of the seat cluster is full retard. Almost no one wants a lot of saddle-bar drop, so why design a bike like that? Good thing it has a big stock riser stem.
The greatest fashion victims in cycling are the people who have low-pro fixies like the cinelli mash histograms and that.
Those people almost invariably ride around on their finger tips or the unwrapped tops of their drops if they have em.
A longer seatpost adds good suspensive flex and comfort and a taller stem just makes a bike handle worse if not outright scarily. I'm a fan of tall stems but when it's merely to correct your retarded geometary and doesn't even give a particularly practical position? Why do you need a bike to be stiff around the seatpost? It barely has any force on it. Even if you do want it, which almost no one does, there is already so much scope to get a more aggressive position on a traditional or compact frame, with a straight or slammed stem.
