Damn thats a hellava drop from seat to pads.

A $10,000 bike with $1.75 worth of drop. What a waste.

Amazing… someone would pay 12,000 for that. What store is that?

$12,000 just for the frame isn’t it?
wow, the blue light hurts my eyes.
and can the bars be any higher ?
The bike shop is Racer’s Edge in Boca Raton which is south of West Palm Beach nice shop…that guy in the backgound used to race for Mapei when they actually had a team, here’s another fine specimen
Now all s/he needs is a microwave oven and a couple rolls of toilet paper behind the seat and it’s all set.
Ok, let me start by saying that I’m quite new to all this bike fit stuff, so please don’t crucify me (Paulo) if I don’t know what I’m talking about. I am however, eager to learn…
The ST angle on that bike looks well slack of traditional tri geometry - maybe around 70/72 degrees? If that’s the case, then wouldn’t the bars have to be higher (relative to the seat) to keep the same hip angle that you’d have if you were on a 78/80 degree ride? Basically, would this same rider with the same hip angle set the bars much lower on a P3C with the seat in the forward position? Also, what’s the length of the top tube? It looks kinda long, and if that’s the case, then the position would already be a bit supermanish, which would also tighten the hip angle, thus causing the bars to look high.
Sorry bout’ the blue, I was using my phone and left the flash on…you can never have too much blue! (HENCE THE NAME)

okay…you said you were “new to this bike fit stuff”, sounds like you know enough as it is…

Maybe he/she has teeeeeeeeeeeeensy little upper arms?
Yeah… I think its actually $12,500 for the frameset (frame, fork, seatpost, stem, headset… is there a headset?)
Those two are very nice bikes… but I think the BMC is a little too expensive, and the Look has too big of a gap between the wheel and frame.

Two months on Slowtwitch has been an awesome crash course (bad choice of words, I know), so thanks to all of you guys…
Nice bicycle, bad drop

Obviously intended for a Roadie! LOL
(more money than brains)
Even MY bars are lower than that and I broke my back twice and my neck once. Might as well just put some drop bars on that thing and be done with it!
Yes, I’m from Boca and Racer’s Edge is a great shop for high-end bikes, etc.
My Dad bought his BMC from them! Nice photos!
Should fit this guy here… np…
