Bought a pair of Ray Ban New Wayfarers today..taking these back Thursday to order a pair of the Ray Ban Avaitors I've been wanting
 
Yikes. Raise your seatpost, bud. Also you must be ridiculously short. Are you sure you were fitted to the bike correctly?

What are you talking about? You don't even know him or her so how can you assume things you don't know?

By comparing the bike frame and seat post to the garage door behind it, the person must be at about 4' in height to be considered in optimal riding position.

So yes based on that, cleanup makes a good point :p

But I'm thinking the seat post is just really low, as some people have difficulty adjusting to a road bike due to comfort issues as well as adjusting to a higher riding position.

You're right. I don't know who the poster is/how tall he/she is, but I do know that that bike is a 47/48 cm frame, and the saddle-to-bar drop is negative, which suggests that the person riding the bike is riding it incorrectly or the bike was fitted incorrectly. There is no way that the rider could comfortable ride on the flats or hoods of the bars, even if the bike were the right size.

Now how can YOU question my knowledge on topics you clearly know nothing about?

[Edit] Also, the OCRs are discontinued IIRC, so unless the bike is new old stock, it was purchased used, which makes it even more likely that the bike wasn't fitted correctly.

Damn, you know your bikes!
 
aahhh i see. im not sure if i like the red idea. as long as the screen is good :D

After getting used to it, the screen is pretty darn good. Mine is out of direct sunlight so I don't get the redness normally. Otherwise it's a very subtle red deep red. The monitor controls are a little annoying to use though (touch controls) but they look pretty :)

Yes I bought it used and I didn't have a chance to get it fitted correctly for me. It's my first bike and no, I'm not tall

Oh SchneiderMan ... Pot meet kettle. :rolleyes:

The seatpost is obviously too short, road bikes aren't fitted like your little BMX bike would be, cleanup is right and the poster confirmed it had not been fitted. It's a real nice bike nonetheless.


My last purchase: Timothy's World Coffee Extra Bold Rainforest Espresso K-Cups

Just picked up some goodies - that I probably don't deserve. Time to sell off some things I don't need!

Apple iPad 16gb Wifi from Movie Cutter
Marware Eco Flip Case
Power Support Anti Glare Screen protector

Can't wait till they all come in! This iPad will be my primary reader - since I find myself reading a lot of scientific pdfs.
