Leipheimer's Madone
Not much drop here compared to the others on the ProTour. 5'7" on a 54.

The drop from the saddle to top of the bars is fairly small, but he is using deep bars. Deep for someone 5'7" anyway. I think last year he was using Deda shallow bends.

I think the picture angle is a bit decieving. There is still 3 or 4" of drop which is a fair amount for a guy without much of a torso.

He's upsizing the frame to get more top tube length, like I do, so the head tube is too long to get much drop. Man, he's got that saddle high though. 6cm higher than mine.

Are these things suspended on dental floss/fishing line or do they just roll them into the frame, snap the picture, and then catch the thing before it falls and breaks the pretty SRM?
