No, but the guy I do laugh at shows up to the local TT seires on his P3. All decked out with Zipp, the guy has exceeded the amount of spacers you can safely put on a fork, then has an upturned stem. Spacers, are fine, an upturned stem is fine. But when it is a combo that obviously makes it look like your bike doesn't fit, there's a problem.

The P3 is made to run low, and this guy has his bars even with the saddle, which put his elbow pads above the saddle.

I don't laugh when people buy more bike than they "look" like they should have. I laugh when they aren't reasonable about the purchase and buy something that doesn't quite work for them because it's the newest toy.

But not out loud, just a chuckle to myself.
