Started off life in October 2012 like this:

But after a warranty replacement frame & forks, full Ultegra, Mavic Kysrium wheels / Pro 4’s, CK bb, S-Works stem, seatpost & bars, Romin saddle, Look Keo pedals, now looks like this:

Are you 10ft tall?

Not quite, 6′ 3″

We can forgive the spacers im not a slam that stem fan BUT that hood angles inexcusable.

Erm… just curious; what part(s) do those two bicycles actually have in common?!

Looks like a carbon fibre gate.

Well I think it looks ace especially after seeing it in the flesh(so to speak) and trust me it’s fast as ****.
The main problem is that once you get to a certain height bike frame aesthetics look all wrong , I know I’m 6’4″.

househusband:

Specialized make them, they call it the Roubaix & I own it.

Frame aethetics are fine at 6’3″, it’s just those specialized roubaixs look bloody awful

Small bikes definitely look better…

Small bikes definitely look better…

54 – 59 cm is the optimum size to make a real looker

Smaller bikes look better. Small bikes just look as silly as really tall bikes. On the taller end of the scale I own it 😀

It needs these wheels, though! 😉

+1, crazy length head tubes! Serves a purpose, but looks crazy.

That’s the point…

Thorn take the same approach with stem spacers;

I think I prefer the longer headtube approach.
