bdhu.

Absolutely, so near yet so far.
Not my bike BTW.

bike appears to be straight fire tho, full pic?

The rest of the bike is actually spot on.

Given the thread we’re in, a bug bear of mine is when a seat post logo isn’t fully visible. Can’t quite make out what’s happening there (on my phone) so it may be okay, but it could feature in an ‘SU’ thread.

Difficult to achieve with a Thomson and a horizontal TT, but that’s why a different seatpost would be the correct answer.

Agree. Big fan of acetone or matt black rattle can paint to remove logos from seatpost/stem/bars.

Serves them right for buying a silly Thomson seatpost

Cannondales did have an extra inch of superfluous seat tube also

If this is the case I would suggest avoiding the Blue Lug instagram account, it's an orgy of half revealed Thomson logos

There are benefits of long legs and a setback Thomson in this potentially disastrous situation.

Yep as it should be. I’ve done the same but have regular length legs. To get round it I bought a child sized bike to ensure no crimes committed.

@Chaley : if you can ride around blissfully with that setup, I can only conclude you’re a monster.

This is true.

With apologies for the quality of photo and outmoded handlebar technology, can I get a BDHU verdict on these before I commit to wrapping.

No known cure for those bars other than get new bars

Rotundo - confusion
What’s the group verdict? Am I doing it right?

I’d start with the bar ends vertical/drops horizontal, then slide the hoods up to a comfortable position.

Ah yes, got it - like this
