Hmm.... this guy who owns it, must be a special kind of (.....)
well I have never seen someone doing so much wrong things on one single bike:
- suspension forks & girvin Flexstem bar/stem..... = must be a cool feeling of double suspension?
- the owner obviously doesn't value life too much.... having any stem extended up, especially a Girvin Flexstem borders to being "suicidal"....
- Anyone having basic knowledge of the laws of physics must know that there are incredible forces at work on such an extended shaft of the stem....
ESPECIALLY on a stem that absorbs shocks....
- having such an expensive bike for commuting AND obviously neglecting it in this manner.....oh boy, what a silly combination!
- There are much more things to be mentioned, but you certainly get the idea....
Sometimes bikes can tell a lot about someone's character & judging by this bike this guy's life must be pretty messed up!
Anyway, it's always painful to see people with such high-end bikes behaving in such (.....) low ways.
