Personal preference = fit ?
So I am guessing these are the guys between frame sizes?
I thought laybacks had advantage over inline for dampening and act as suspension ..Dan martin's F1 with Thomson Layback:
Interestingly I saw his R5 at Sigma yesterday with EXACT same bar set up and 2cm spacers but -17 stem instead; given Cervelo's epic stack ..
So my next question is why not slammed and 6 (or 10) degrees vs 2cm spacers and 17 degrees? Isnt it the same?

Sounds like Adam Hansen, who also makes his own carbon cycling shoes and chooses to position his race radio on the back of his neck for better aereos. If he finishes the Vuelta, it will be his 10th consecutive grand tour, so it must be working for him.

I saw one of those 'look at a pro's bike' things on a website like road.cc and there was an Aussie pro who rode with a Thomson Elite inline, a ridiculous saddle to bar drop, a ridiculous stem, and 38cm bars which were apparently too narrow for him.
Why? Personal preference, the same reason a lot of us use inline posts.
