Yeah yeah, blah blah blah. I get that not everyone's the same, and everybody sets up their bike differently. Fine. I don't care how anybody sets up their bike. They can ride lying on their backs for all I care.

But there sure seem to be A LOT of riders on this particular site who feel comfortable with setups that are so out of the ordinary it boggles the mind that they can actually be used without causing more injury. It's as if no one ever even tried to set up their bike conventionally.

How is it even possible that the levers on the bike below can be actuated from the drops without being a contortionist? The brakes are practically vertical. The elbows would need to be bent at an angle greater than 90 degrees. This certainly looks to me like it would cause more problems and pain than it could ever solve. Yes, the rider (our own PastorBob) says he rides the drops and can reach the brakes. Color me skeptical.
