That just looks painful.
Before, painful. Leaned forward, precariously balanced off the front of the saddle.
After, painful. All the weight back there on the butt, yeow.
This is for a beginner road rider getting introduced to the sport who's coming from an upright hybrid. Your slammed stem 6 inch saddle to bar drop would extremely painful for her, and she wouldn't want to ride ever again. Why is the "one-size-fits-all if it ain't a 4 inch drop it's no good" mentality so prevalent? Maybe one day she'll love a 4 inch drop, but not a day-1 thing.
