Perhaps this post more naturally belongs in The stupidest thing you've heard at a bike shop...robbosmans wrote: ↑Wed Nov 04, 2020 1:59 pmMe to customer: you know your frame is broken right?

One of our regulars is in the store. He's blind and is the stoker on a tandem. He has his dog next to him as he's trying on helmets. When he leaves one of the "higher education" students asks the guy behind the counter how a blind guy can ride a bike. The guy behind the counter says that "he rides on the back of a tandem"..... The girl accepts that, but then starts to look really confused. After a minute she leans over the counter and quietly asks the salesman in all sincerity, "how does the dog steer the bike?"
The customer needs some JB Weld!
I have seen that happen multiple times on the early generation Synapse.
Assume it starts with corrosion between the aluminium and carbon which creates some play an eventually it will crack.

Who's bike is it?
Could you imagine any women with that saddle height riding that frame slammed for CX? No way. That geo just doesn't work for her. Not slowing her down though - she's riding well. Hopefully no questionable "supplements" in the mix.

Looks really awfull, especially for a pro bike. But it's the frame she has to ride from the sponsor i think. Not the best publicity..
On the other hand, I do not think such spacer towers do slow you down. Carbon Steerers are plenty stiff enough and for Cyclo-cross a bit of flex might even not be a negative. Personally I do not feel much difference with some spacer or without. But maybe that's because I'm not strong enough
Slammed is much more beautifull and aero, no question about that.

This frame is specifically designed for Eli Iserbyt, if the top tube was just 2 cm higher, it would’ve looked a lot better
