At rest stops I sometimes stand next to the bike (not straddling it) lean it over a little bit, and "sit" on the top tube. But that's on normal bikes, not the hyper-light stuff some folks ride today.
Can most cyclists still do that with the "new" steel tubes, or do you have to be a tiny 135 lb climber to even dare?
Personally, I think if you can't sit on the TT, then the tubes are just too thin.
