Most ridiculous stem angle ever?
 

Came across this on the local CL.

It seems by now someone MUST have made a straight up stem.

This one does it for me; $10K+ plus TT bike with a straight-up stem:

I wonder who makes that bike?

I see what he did there... he made the stem look like the damn birds neck.

Some of us have bad backs and cannot lean over as much as someone with a healthy back :)

that's what recumbents are for. road bikes were built with pain in mind.

I think the company is called "Aero"

EDIT: My bad, it is definitely made by Xentis.

CL bike stem is not too outrageous. Bar top is still below the seat.
It's the bar angle that's really out-there. Reminds me of an angry bull.

he should just sans the drop bars and fit a set of these...

If I had the funds right now I would get it to replace my LeMond....just replace the stem....no biggie. I would, of course, try to haggle a bit.

I wish we could see what he is upgrading to.

That looks so high tech and what kind of handlebars are those?

Looks very alien.

+1, Stem is only mildly wack, but the bars? OMG! The control surface of the drops is nearly vertical!!!!

Xentis aero bars.

That's because its made of steel and cork

Normally not one to poke fun at triathletes(cause I am one), but sometimes the money to sense ratio ain't quite where it should be:
