How, heretical.

>>1024389
What's wrong with that? What if that is the best fit for that particular rider?

>>1024389
Damn, where do you live? I'm gonna steal that bike.

He's probably a very tall dude

>56 frame
>manlet

Are you a big guy?, a 56 frame is for a guy about 1,75-180m, totally not a manlet unless you are some kind of giant.

I don't think the carbon steerer will like that very much.

>not knowing the whole story
For all you know that's someone who had to have lumbar vertebra surgically fused due to injuries in an accident, or some other medical reason, and they physically can't get down low enough to ride in traditional drops unless the cockpit is raised like that. I've got a TT bike I bought from a teammate for that reason (fused vertebra). Seriously, try being a little more sensitive of other people.

Like CF seatposts they're very thick-walled and can take compressive force like that, it's fine.

>>1024501
Yeah, but didn't you notice the seat height? The frame is obviously too small for him, and he's compensating by having a taller steerer. There's also a bit of a drop, so I dont think it's a spinal issue

>>1024501

The fact that it's only prudent on the off chance that you had some horrible problem corrected by a rare surgical procedure only makes the title "gore" more appropriate.

Don't be a fag about it.

>>1024501
Do you think this is a fucking game!?

>>1024435
I'm that height, I take a 52-53cm frame.

><= 180 cm

Are you chinese or something? Normal white males are like 185 cm if you haven't been beaten and toxicated as a child. Here only males under 180 cm are either retarded or >80 yers old so they lived their childhood in a poverty and had to eat moldy grain and wood.

The vast majority of countries have an average male height under 180cm, those that are over are only by a few cm and only the Dinaric Alps is at 185cm or over.

Nothing wrong with the seat height. It's a downsized frame for that aggressive position. The problem is that they aren't flexible enough to utilize that position and could've just as well take a larger frame.

I just did this today .

>>1025586
Who knows for long long you rode with a cracked frame, covered with that thick layer of gunk

>>1025587
A side effect of using old motor oil for the chain.

>>1025586
2 bad so sad

>>1024501
Could've gotten a larger frame and put a shorter stem on it. I'm guessing a dentist bought the bike during TdF and had no idea how to pick the proper size.

>>1025586
That's actually relatively easy to fix by a moderately experienced welder with a TIG machine. If you wanna keep it and it's not a fancy bike, ask a metalworker in your area to run a bead over that, it's like a 15 minute job, shouldn't cost you more than a few bucks.

By the way your cassette is fucking used up to shit. I'm guessing this is a beater tho.

>>1024417
Then they're on the wrong frame
