Bike porn

Now I'm already fond of Bullitt bikes, but this is something else. I would ride that!

why the kick stand? is he supposed to load/unload cargo like the traditional "svajerløb"?

aw yes

OMG that is awesome. Just needs cargo.

Cargo biek needs a weight handicap like a racehorse.

I would suggest an outrider who can manoeuvre in a gimp suit for cornering.

^no, no, no. Maybe expensive but definitely not porn.

It's subjective

The lever angle though. That's pushing 'subjective' pretty far.

Cross style init

silly style imho, especially considering they'd be at the same position with the spacer under instead of on top of a (better suiting angled) stem

Not really. They're positioned like that to get more control / leverage on the short, sharp climbs in CX races I think.

Better control when on the hoods... Pistolero style #dontbesucharoadie

Quill stems are history, let it go.

The 'better suiting angle' would be whatever gives the shortest distance between steerer and bars.

For seated glute use at low inertia apparently.

Cole wheels though > > >

I'm not talking about quill stems. Maybe I didn't explain it right but spacers on top of stems have no function and can never be pornworthy for me, nor can upward angled stems.

spacers on top of stems have no function

Well, there goes my side business then :-)

nor can upward angled stems

You choose your stem based on form, rather than function?

spacers on top of stems have no function

Think about the secondhand MAMIL buyers will you?

This (spacers on top) has become de rigueur. I believe the movement was started by MC Tester back in 09? The stem is zero degrees hence perpendicular to head tube. Anything over this is considered upward and therefore rightfully anti.

That stem is -6 not 0

I believe the movement was started by MC Tester back in 09?

I think one of the carbon fork manufacturers actually started it, after noticing some failures caused by stem clamping according to the original Dia Compe AHead instructions which were written for steel steerers. By spring 2009, I had a tidy implementation in place.

Alright protractorman.
