If it was anybody's except Obree's and for anything except the hour record, I would label it jackass and forget about it. But god, I love that odd Scotsman and I will forgive him nearly anything. The dude made a bicycle out of washing machine parts and rode it faster than anyone else ever had. If he thinks a saddle needs to be that far back, I believe him. If he needs that much chain slack, I'll give it to him. Everyone else still has to shape up.
