There is no Pro model for the amateur ride, but for some reason, you keep insisting upon a pro model. Why is this?.

You keep using Cobb as the definitive source of why everyone's bike should be set up like yours. Then YOU brought up the fact that Armstrong and Lemond used Cobb. So it begs the question... why don't we see their bikes set up like yours with saddles pushed all the way back on setback posts and 220mm neg 45 deg stems?
