Which bike has the shortest head tube aka racer position?

Is it Tarmac or perhaps Bianchi?

dun ask lar like we own bike shop... of course smaller frames will result in a shorter head tube... and generally the ones not made as endurance bikes...

if you want to compare similar size between different model and brands.. you have to look at each of them individually as the geometry affects the height of the HT...

else, -17 degree stems is your best friend...

historically, if you look at sister schleck... you can see his bikes have rather tall head tubes... due to his physique...

he gets that pro look by using a very steep stem installed terbalik...and of course slamming that stem like a b!atch in heat...

now u know! Riding alone Vs Group ride! The improvement are huge!
riding alone can scratch balls, dig nose, cincai meludah merata-rata, scream obscene words, let epic farts rip, stare at pretty girls assets, sms to arrange for post ride massage session, surf porn on phone while riding...

i think those benefits you can't find on group rides...

at the end of the ride... you can boast of the epic ride that you actually never did because no one was there to witness and contradict you... hahahaha

u and mr. jgx terbalik pulak...

but it's true... putting the bearing races into the frame will only allow the manufacturer to make a thinner head tube wall... and the bearings are also smaller to bear loads since they have to sit within the internal diameter of the head tube instead of outboard....

speaking of that... wouldn't BB30 sound like a bad idea as well.. hahaha

Lol why my bike shop picture came out here pulak drool.gif

Decide to stick to my what ever shit and collect more km's man after much persuasion from my lbs. Doubt lbs in kl will say like that lor.. I dunno what think to upgrade edi that will make big big diffrence...

Managed to stick to bunch riders riding at 45kmh++ for 10 km before being dropped back on my saturday ride doh.gif

Hmm, isnt it riding alone is better than group riding as you are forced to do all the work all alone while you can curi tulang when you are in a bunch?

This coming Malakoff Interstate Fellowship ride, my Gold Giant going to phail many many "superbikes" smile.gif

Er.. 85km each week, ur group ride only once a week? 85km is just short ride for P2K on sunshine Saturday morning where it's fast and furious ride.

its followed by Sunday on long hilly ride...

I think I can keep up if they managed to ride at 35kmh-40kmh on average speed. I'm not a couch potato anyways. As butthead pointed out earlier, if they maintain that speed uphill..then it's a different story, perhaps can rejoin during a descend..I can ride 50kmh solo for quite sometime and it's proven only with a strong tailwind..else no chance ler:P

And this is what I'm talking about. Thanks for the info..however as much as I love to own a Tarmac Sl4, this Bianchi Oltre XR looks much more menacing and muscular looking...haihs..

A wiggo documentary for his TDF 2012..what a journey. Let's hope the video doesn't end like Lance one where we all kene tipu kaw2 for years..he looks damn skinny..i remember read somewhere about his consuming like 19000 calories per day to maintain his weight.

i oso talking c0ck too.. just trying to jerk you around while i look for my facts....buy me some time mar... hahahah

the oltre looks b!tching... but i still prefer the tarmac if i were to buy one for my own.. the bianchi is just too stylo milo for me...

that being said, the oltre can still look sweet...just get some 17 degree stems...

having the pro look is all about.. no stack height, low head tube if possible, and a bad creaking back when you hit 50 years old...

did you make a typo... i heard of riders consuming 9000 calories per day being standard lar... but 19000 is a bit crazy...

in fact he is not considered to be crazy thin... his teammate froome looks more on the ragged edge than he is.. in fact they are worried about him being over excessive on reducing his body weight in the couple of months during the grand tour season...

if he stops cycling.. he will become an obese tub of lard...
