    A couple of Christmases ago a child in my estate got a bike from Santa, that was set up in that exact way.

    Can't help but think the whole used 5-10 times was down to the setup and the person thinking it was too difficult to cycle.

    That bike doesn't even cost that much new.

    I'd say the short wheelbase makes for very agile handling.

    It has aero brakes mounted to the back of the fork. Those are only available on very high end bicycles.

    ...or perhaps it's just a very small shed and was set up to fit in it! :pac:

    Ive seen people cycle bikes with similar set ups, basically saddle slammed into the seat tube and the handlebars as high as possible. I wonder was the fork fitted the wrong way around in order to gain height at the front?

    Guys, you are all missing a bargain here. As this is clearly the prototype for the new Pinarello Dogma in , ahem, heavily disguised form, it is worth snapping up. It will be a collectors item

    Damn, I just can't keep up with all those new aero positions.

    Am I the only one to think €375 for this BSO is outrageous?
