please dont

I agree.

Ha, this is so true.

This is going to be a maximum flex bike. My wallet, my pose & my back.

Spacers will be heavily reduced.

It seems every aero bike I see on insta is run with max spacer, I don't understand.

I've still not made the final chop on my steerer, I left it with a few spacers so I could be sure before I cut it right down. Previous two bikes had been slammed but I have to admit, that first ride around with a tonne of spacers was pretty comfy! But it just looks wrong. 3 inches of aero spacers looks even worse.
I'm worried what the internet will think if I dare to leave a couple in there..

one blue one purple imo, do it king

I guess because the bikes are not owned by the people posting, or are largely being bought by traditional mamils?

Where to start

1. X2 you don’t want some dick on a blue canyon going past you up Whiteways.
   
2. Voice of boring again but don’t cut and slam you’ll surely want this for some time??
   
3. Purple I think is better than blue.
   
4. It’s fucking awesome!!
   

yeah high chance its just mamils or bike hasn't left the shop yet I suppose

Voice of boring again but don’t cut and slam you’ll surely want this for some time??

Yeah I'd agree. I of course want to look pro af, but in 10 years I'll likely be fat af and unable to stretch

Noone keeps a bike instagram clean after it leaves the shop surely?

but in 10 years I'll likely be fat af and unable to stretch

A bike for life is never a bike for life. Have it fit you now

haha it seems that some folk on insta do...
This seems especially true with some mountain bikers. Theres some guy, I cant mind the insta handle, he has a santa cruz nomad with a custom paint job, its basically the american flag with colour matched components. Its fucking hideous, easily the worst I've ever seen. He either doesn't ride it or takes it apart and cleans it with a toothbrush every day. It's immaculate, hes been posting pictures of it every day for ages, no a mark on it!

Yeah, you are talking sense here. Even though I say its my forever bike, we all know its obviously not the last bike I'll buy. But certainly the last time I could spend stupid money.

In 5 years I reckon I'll be in the demographic that makes buying a roubaix acceptable anyway...

I mean how much more unflexible will you really get?
Leave 5mm on top, you can always use a less steep stem down the road.
Or get the spesh rise hover bar thingy

I have that stem for you! Hang on

Never mind just saw this. Sorry

Show us anyway... Someone might be interested...

The Cervelo S series is/was hilarious for that. Aero bike but with super upright mamil friendly position.

But this...
