Beg your pardon sir!

"Sloping top tube" != "lo pro"

It's not as back-breaking as some, but it's a lo pro.

nope - seatpost was stuck - had to get a framebuilder (argos) to get it out :(

it's a lo pro.

If it wasn't designed to replicate the drop bar position when using bull horns, it isn't a lo-pro.

The fact that the position looks OK with drops on it is the proof that it clearly isn't lo-pro. Bikes have been built with sloping top tubes for at least a century to get normal bars a bit lower without having to use an extended seat post, but they were not lo-pro then and they aren't now.

Debatable.

Lower Clapton Rd. right in front of the Chapel, i see your bikes all the times here, I believe you must live next to the Police station?
I ride a green Carlton track, will shout the 'do a skid' next time ; )

Debatable.

Not when it's mdcc_tester, it's not!

Yep. Like the '92-94 Cannondale Track.

Regardless of this internet super chat, 'lo pro' will always be associated with a sloping top tube. What I or you say won't change that.

Needs forks from Takhion.

This isn't 'Internet super chat', it's FACT. I'd be saying the same shit to your face. Your bike, my bike, Tomasito's bike, not low pros, FACT.

Fair enough.

Is Major Taylor or the guy in second place on a lo pro?

Over the East Side it's associated with risers.

Ha, the 'East Side'. :-)
