the return of the bad handlebar thread

The way it is bodged together definitely seems like it’s an adaptive cockpit.

The reach on that setup is horrendous, though.

There used to be an awful bike fitter at the shop I worked at who would sometimes try to change stems and bar positions himself when he didn’t want to wait for one of us to do it.

Sometimes the bikes would look like this when he was through. I was amazed that so many people were so happy with his fits, but I guess half of them had the saddle three inches low and were pedaling on their heels in running shoes when they came in, so anything was better than that.

Everything is terrible.

When we were still married, my ex bought a used Betty Foy setup with Albatross bars. After a while of doing 20 mile round trip commutes on it, she asked about putting bullhorn bars on it. :colbert: I talked her out of that somehow and it eventually got Noodles.
