Don’t group me in with this head tube hoarder, that’s more than 3 of my bikes combined.
The steer tube is longer than the fork blades.
Someone should have spent their bike money on yoga and massage.
i actually hate this bike more than almost any other bike i’ve ever seen

You, as a tall guy, should be very familiar with the back problems very tall people have. It seems really common to have prolonged back pain and spinal issues above a certain height.
It makes for really ugly bikes, but it’s no different to me than a normal sized bike with the bars above the saddle.
but y no parallelogram bike?
i’ll make fun of oddball bikes like this to some extent but one thing my dad says always resonated with me.
but srsly it could be a parallelogram bike
I feel like that bike was built for some other guy who ran significantly more seatpost and some (tall but less tall) goof bought it second hand and made a series of design compromises into a straight up abomination.

Oh yes, first hand. Which is why I’m spending my bike money on Chiropractor visits, massages, acupuncture, and a gym membership.
If I ever get to the point where I can’t ride a traditional bike I’ll just accept my fate and ride a recumbent. That’s pretty strong motivation to keep my back and neck injuries at bay.
Still gonna make fun of a silly looking bike.
Yeah, it is a silly looking bike, but even with a paralell top tube, youd have to have quite a bit of drop to not have a ridiculous rusty stack or head tube extension.
All faster backwards bikes should have risers or alt bars. P-sure it’s the law.
I’d be ok with it

I’m curious about the backstory of that bike. It would be pretty rad if it was built for someone in their 70s that rides a ton of miles.
That bike says “spinal fusion surgery” to me
I feel like we’re at most two trend involutions from this being the hottest kind of bike around.
