What do you think?[/quote] what do i think? well, i think you are fortunate to work at one of the most advanced and influential bicycle companies on the planet.

how about you get the folks that run your company to band together with the CEOs of other top bike companies to put some serious pressure on the UCI to dispose of this truly ridiculous and archaic rule, whether based on angle or x/y coordinates, a rule which accomplishes absolutely nothing except for purposefully stagnating the development of racing bicycles on both technical and ergonomic fronts.
if you and trek, with it's power and influence, can't take the initiative to get this ball rolling, then who in the heck can?
Where would you want to swim ?
