Don't listen to this guy. Also, from now on, don't ride anywhere unless you have a buddy filming you. If anything hillarious happens, don't forget to post it here.

why do they make seat rails the length of the saddle if it's unsafe to mount it when it's slid to one end or the other?
those guys are full of ****.
ride what feels comfortable.
don't let the fashion police make you change something you don't want to.

...sarcasm doesn't translate well on the web.
I've seen people be criticized for their bikes and now I'm in that club.
I had a friend at a bike shop measure me before ordering the parts and frame, I have a long torso I guess. I wouldn't ride it everyday if I didn't feel comfortable.

It is generally considered a Bad Idea to tinker with saddle position to adjust the reach to the handlebars; it is better to adjust this by replacing the handlebar stem with one with a different reach, or by buying a bicycle with a different length top tube.

I'm not sure that i would go so far as to call Obama a communist (or particularly that he is a russian communist as the card shows) but in a graphics sense it is pretty neat.
edit: Is your chain a loose in the third picture? or is that just camera and my eyes playing tricks on me (it looks fine it all the other ones, just the 3rd one looks a bit loose)

what's wrong with kmc chains?
i ditched the white one and went for the nickel one.
kmc have always been good chains for me, though i almost bought a sram today.
