blah blah ... blahblahblah. There is no judgment of his motivations by me.. I'm judging the jackassery of one step down to take two steps up is all. Decaf baby, decaf. I'm fully aware that it's not subject to my approval, he can build it however he wants. Hey maybe all he had was a quill stem for all I know.. It was posted and I made a comment on the silliness of a stem pointing down to hold a riser bar. Lighten up Bottom Feeder, read the thread title.

You pointed nothing out that was remotely valid.

I've been having a little trouble following this argument, but was that whole "what's with positive stems and drops" thing a joke?

that looks like a bike i pulled up to on the street last year
(im sitting on my marin mount vision) and i look at him and at the disk, ask him what its for and he said "oh i race track on it"... i got confused, and decided i would drop him in the next block (which i did... he didnt know how to use gears...... ) and now of course i know gears arnt for the track...

Nice attempt at covering your butt against viable retaliation. Yes I have drops on some of my bikes and risers on others because both designs allow a change of hand and therefore body positions to varying degrees.... and although you're apparently fragile or can't handle riding in the drop next to the stem it's a refreshing change for me on my rides. Also, a normal stem with a flat bar does not offer the same hand positions as a neg stem with risers regardless of what you might think. But then I suppose people with your limited sight and narrow judgement fish for affirmations from your peers by poking fun of other people and their preferences while keeping your fingers crossed in hopes that "gang mentality" will prevail in your favor.
I'm amazed at how many people here feel justified in making fun of others. For me to idly stand by is just as bad as joining in these absurd judgemental posts... so you bet I'm going to say something.

Care to re-post after you've edited all the 'harrumph, sirrah, nay!' talk?

Has this been mentioned yet? The jackass on Velospace converting downtube shifter levers into brake levers? I think that it is a joke but I cannot tell anymore these days..... https://velospace.org/node/6419

Oh, it's definitely jackass. That guy has been selling single speed conversions on Denver craigslist with those shifter levers. Sometimes even with only a front brake. I could maybe see using those on a fixed gear, but they are definitely not feasible for a freewheel.

Hmm... This one looks like you could get enough leverage pushing down on it for it to actually work:

I dont actually have a problem with this bike but is this a 1-1/8" stem on a 1" headset?
