I think the full name of that particular flagship model is
"steers like you've just necked a gallon of White Lightening".
They've obviously removed a few stickers...
DrP
Shortens the effective top tube length nicely!
Apparently it's made by a brand called 'Woodworm'.
It oozes quality from every weld...
anyone elses' knees just flinch?
The reflector positioning just sets it off nicely.
Gear shifter position is equally well considered
They really need to slam that stem
Woodworm? As in the cricket bat makers.
Oh dear.
You laugh, we had a lady buy a Trek OCLV 9.8 hardtail frame from the shop I used to work in. She ran her stem backwards on it.
I'd love to know what the steering feels like on that, but I'd be scared for my kneecaps.
Do you think that started off as someone helpfully pointing out they had they fork on backwards?
Backwards stems you say - it will be the new geometry soon !
Wait till the marketing chaps come back from lunch.
Maybe it's the next step in Mondrakers attempts to make top tubes longer.
No longer happy with zero length stems, they're going for an even longer top tube and a 'negative length' stem?
A guy I know has just had a hip replacement, (legacy of a motorbike crash), he's about 60, and cycles a fair bit now he's retired, mostly country lane touring with the wife etc.
So, to keep riding he's bought an electric hybrid bike, and in order to keep himself upright enough to ease pressure on the new joint he's turned the stem around too, looks a proper contraption, but he reckons it's ideal, it's even a flexi stem, and it's pointing right up in the air, god only knows what it handles like!
