that's a nice custom bike funny to think how uncomfortable that guy would be on most standard setups
his bars are insanely high but he could still get reasonably aero with bent arms in the drops

>>2018686 that's the custom frame version of a riser stem he's running his custom 0° stem upside down, which looks wierd
Still, the bars are levelish with the saddle which imo is a good default position for many riders. >had a bad back who doesn't ?
>>2018683(OP) Its enough to make me want to go win the tour de france in cargo shorts just to kill the industry

>>2026770 nah they're pretty shit they just have great marketing. I set my quartz watch twice a year at daylight savings, those Rolexes need set once a month at the very latest and need full services as often as a quartz watch needs a $2 battery

>>2026869 yeah but how far off is your watch when you do it twice a year? unless you've got thermocompensated or something like that you're probably off by 2-3 minutes

>>2026871 that's not bad for non-TC but your watch is an outlier
I never understood mechanical watches. We have a superior system. Plus you can just buy a new $300 quartz watch every few years for the fashion and look way better than some clunky, dorky grandpa Rolex.

>>2026873 yeah I don't know why it's so accurate, one time it was like 2 seconds off, obviously some months it will gain a few and some lose but it averages out to fuck all >>2026926 It was a marketing thing the Swiss companies had to do to survive. Swiss companies used quartz until Japan could make them really cheap

>>2027032 most "watch guys" aren't wearing anything near that expensive. go on the average watch discussion online and see, it's mostly neckbeards who feel very smug about their ebay frankenfake HMT with "omega" crudely stamped over the original dial markers) that they pretend is actually in the same class as an original george daniels and therefore they're morally superior to any kind of timepiece that's actually accurate and usable in real life conditions. it's the watch version of the steel is real guys who convinced themselves that their gaspipe bso with a bent derailleur hanger and brakes that don't work has more "character" than an entry level allez or a domane that actually and you don't have to dismount every 3 miles and fish the chain out of the spokes
Cyclists who wear lycra are like that kid who turns up for a kickabout in full football kit, including studs and shin pads. Except they're adults so the cringe is multiplied by 1,000,000.
imagine you're going to take the car out for a spin, and you dressed up like Ayrton Senna on race day, even if you had a Ferrari everyone would know that you're a cunt.

>>2028747 Lol that hits so close to home. In my 20s I had a Sgt who was really into futbol (and probably tistic), so he later ordered PT (exercise) was going to be futbol. Mfer showed up in full cleats and shins while all of us were in standard issue PT gear. The other Sgts were so fucking mad they didn't let him organize a PT session for a long time lmao
>>2028748 "pick me" is wearing the casio so that the old money thinks you "have nothing to prove" and therefore must be one of them so they'll take pity on you and give you free money
