    What's the opposite procedure to slamming a stem? Anyway, he's still doing it:

    Just look at that poor front brake cable, begging for mercy.

    Funnily enough I walked past Ally Pally just this morning, I'll have to keep an eye out for this mystery rider with the upright posture.

    Maybe he has exceedingly short arms.

    What's with the seat pin, Limpet mines? At least he listened to me and added the Dork disc. Nice saddle angle:

    At first I thought the bars had simply turned round and that's why the photo looked odd

    But no, there's something far. far weirder going on there...WTF?

    It's a Trek road bike. Monstrous barely covers it.

    Aren't Trek's ridden by accountants, lawyers and doctors?

    Quite ironic really.

    We've had this before - Cervelos are ridden by accountants, lawyers and doctors, Treks are ridden by muscular, handsome, intelligent, caring and wonderful people. And me. (although I ride a Cervelo as well, and I'm not an accountant, lawyer or doctor, so I've no idea what's going on :? )

    Did Lance Armstrong fall into that intelligent, caring and wonderful bracket? Or maybe Treks are ridden by aggressive, abusive , power hungry twatters.

    Jus sayin

    intelligent - he pulled the wool over the eyes of millions for ages - so yes
    Caring - he cared about winning at all costs - so yes
    wonderful - to watch him out climb everyone else that was on drugs by a massive margin was wonderful to wach - so again yes

    its all in the perspective

    Maybe Lance wasn't intelligent enough to get some masking TUE's...

    Intelligent - he didn't pull the wool. He just bullied anyone who stood in his way
    Caring - He inly cared about himself and gave a big F@ck you to anyone and everyone else
    Wonderful - his admission of taking banned substances ( although still no admission of guilt) just cos some other riders doped too means nothing. Cheating is cheating.

    Blimey. To the sellers credit, he hasn't exactly made a secret of the fact, but, still, who would buy a frame that had been in such a big crash?

    At least the Bianchi's been repaired already, this one seems a touch optimistic.
