Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.

Spooky!

I knew what that was going to be before I clicked...

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.

Indeed.

Another repost?!

Belongs in here imo:

To be fair, that's such a shocker it should be on every page.

Wut?

I'd not only ride that, I'd ride that whilst wearing those trousers.

Are the bars designed to be like that? Or are they upside down or something?

It's an aesthetic and functional fail imo. The riding position with the hands way behind the steerer doesn't make it look fun to ride. I bet it makes for shit handling in combination with the steep angles.
p.s. maybe I wouldn't be that harsh if it wasn't such a lovely frame.

I can't argue with that :)
FWIW, I enjoyed the swept bars on my omafiets with a slack headtube. When I tried swept handlebars on my tarck bike I didn't like the handling.

Cut the bars down so hand position is in front of steerer, and slam that stem. Then I'd have no problem riding it

Positive rise stem

Are you sure? Looks like -6° from here

I think he means it's not a -17°. Which is true slammage.

Ohh I had similar bars on my track bike once, super fun! Only the bars kept flexing too much while skidding. Think they were Humpert alu ones, steel should be better

it's not a -17°

It's not -20° either, which would make it more or less parallel with the top tube. slamthatstem.com don't agree with your definition, they certified this Cannondale only a week ago

I was working off "parallel to the ground" assuming 73° headtube angle.

That website is bizarre anyway. Some of them definitely belong in here:

Who needs a spine anyway?

What trousers?

I like that.

That's as maybe, but as successor to Metallic Poutine they do probably have the right to be arbiters of what gets certified.

Bars/stem are absurd if you ask me but the only bit I really have a problem with. Different strokes though

You can’t see those trousers?
