Need more saddle to bar drop? Try this

I was just browsing some bike listings and came across this. Pretty unusual. Talk about getting aero!

If you ride a mid sized frame, and inverted your handlebars, or better yet used Scott drop in bars, the position may not be that radical.

I don't like the implied seating position (re the OP).

There is a racer kid around here that could ride that.. That looks like at least 200mm of drop. Nuts.

Bullhorns are the proper bar for that bike.

anyway, it is a tack pursuit/TT bike so it doesnt need to be comfortable for very long. It sure would be fun to ride one!

^ +1 I'd ride that! Seriously cool, I really like the Cinellis with two stems, one on top of each fork blade. I do wonder how the fork is retained - must be an upper headset race inside the head tube?
