This is OOS climbing geometry template. This is Marco Pantani's bike. He would ride out of the saddle for an hour at a time. He would climb in the drops, and you can see where the drops coincide with front axle. Also note the position of the saddle relative to the rear wheel. He was a diminutive man, so his stack height is "high" due to the fact that he is running 700c wheels. Look at the saddle to bar drop.
