I think every modern tech bike looks bastardized for fit - roadie,
mountain. It looks like they're making undersized frames on purpose and
slapping 400 mm seatposts on every one

A setback seatpost is hardly extreme, but among roadie (faux racer)
purists like this defunct LBS owner, any change to the stock part spec had
better have a purported speed/efficiency benefit, or what's the point? I

Well, if there is such a thing as geometric bastardization, I'm guilty of
multiple counts. Probably the worst is my Trek 520, which I bought long
before I knew much of anything about geometry, fit, etc. To make matters
worse, I was in love with flared drop bars like the On-One Midge, which

I couldn't keep my B17 far enough forward on my LaPrade-offset seatpost
when I switched to tall quill and moustache bars. On long rides, my saddle
would slide on the rails toward the rear as much as 3/4-inch (I'm the guy

Jeremy: well said. Even that Trek doesn't look horrible, and CJ's Atlantis
actually looks quite good to my eyes except for the excessively fat tires.
I used a similar seatpost for a Flyer when others would not give me enough
setback.
