Is it my imagination or is that a loooooong stem?

 

 

Alot of guys ride with a smaller frame and a long stem, the smaller frame flex's less when under power. Look at most top sprinter's bikes. Boonen's bike is very noticable in that regard and even SA's Malcolm Lange is the same.

 

I cant believe I know something technical that you dont know!!!!Wink

I still want to see a closeup of that stem.  It looks ginormous.  Strange thing is the seatpost does not stick out too much, so he can't really go for a much bigger frame.  He must have super short legs and knuckles that drag on the floor!


Colonel, you will be glad to know I ordered a bike with a long 120mm stem.  See, I am up to date with my technical knowledgeWink
