. . . that frame was built for someone with special physical limitations after considerable consultation with a fitter, because I just can't imagine Kelly OK'ing that build sheet without screaming, "***?!?!" . . . :eek:

+1 for Dave's assessment, this is one person's attempt to get the joy out of riding a nice bike built for them. Good for them getting out and riding.

I think the camera is "playing" tricks in optical illusion also

Looks like a dnovo bike. Did you notice how all the pics were shot from slightly above to minimize the HT height?

The owner is 5'10", has a 30" inseam, and weighs 220 lbs. I don't think he's leaning over too far...

[BumbleBeeDave]

Could the HT on this bike be trimmed to make it acceptable for most folks? Unless it can, I feel sorry for the poor guy trying to sell it. Anybody who knows anything about fitting is gonna have the same reaction we are . . . :(

That is a bike SCREAMING for a sloping top tube. I'm surprise at seeing that much HT extension.
