Using Sean Yates as a yardstick for bike fit? I've seen everything now.

The reason why the end of the bars should point towards the brake bridge is to give you the best range of available hand positions. It's funny that modern bars come with marks to help you fit them, with 0 usually meaning they point directly at the brake bridge. I wonder what the manufacturers know that you lot don't.

As for 'being bombastic', it's the internet and this part of it is a little bit more rough and tumble than most.

Which bar manufacturer is this?
They have done well creating a bar that knows what size of frame, the geometry of the frame, the number of headset spacers used, the stack height of the headset, the type of stem, length of stem and angle of rise or fall of the stem and them makes the 0 mark appear in the right position so that the bars point at the brake bridge.
