Things have gone downhill since I left I see.

In fairness though, it's a one piece cockpit so non adjustable/poor design. Hoods do need to come up a touch tho

Watching the latest romance YouTube....

No one is safe

He is a mountain biker and inherently radder than anything road biker so he gets a pass.

I did think that he had this set up for off-road...but it's a Defy. There's some epic underbiking on the cards for sure.

I think the point of this thread stands. They are trying to rotate bars up to achieve a position on the hoods that makes the bike fit, but it sacrifices the drop position making the lower part of the bars obsolete.

BDHU would decrease the reach while maintaining the stack - so again in this case it is simply incorrectly mounted bars and hoods

This is true - my first thought was it looks uncomfortable, and I know he is quite a tall person but there are tall people bikes (like yours!) which seem to fit yet don't require any contortionism.
