515ett with a 272mm headtube?! The stack roughly equates similarly to a ~240mm headtube on a 700c fork by comparison. I can't even imagine how short the reach must feel on that bike. I own frames that have headtubes half the length of that thing and they already feel like they are on the laxer side of frame geometries.

Obviously designed to break the hour record.

Please stop the bull&^%! This bicycle was probably designed for a person with limited flexibility/range of motion. This custom geometry was possibly the only option that allowed him/her to ride at all.

Well said. Hence the "custom" part.

Years back we had a customer who rode a bike like that. The dude had severe problems with his spine -- like couldn't bend over to wipe his ass bad. Serotta provided the elegant solution for him ... still it was ugly AF.

At 10-12mph that guy still managed to pump 3-4k/year.

Exactly. If it gets someone on the bike who biomechanically can't handle an efficient cycling position, and helps keep custom framebuilders afloat, what's the problem?

Yup, not necessary here
