Michael has a Tarmac.
My teammate Zach went to collegiate nats and this is what he rocked in the TTT.
Cuz collegiate TTTs don’t allow TT bars, so he got LOW on a teammate’s Venge.
SAMBO’S p.o.s. Specialized Allez at Bici713.com
SAMBO says that our headset bearing cover is on this bike. It’s hard for me to tell because all of my blood rushed out of my brain and is now in my bathing suit area.
Here’s hoping that the bike owner is riding to Home Depot RIGHT NOW to buy a hacksaw.

Jared did the Photoshopping that I requested.
So that stem is about three SRM head units (SRMHU, new standard length). HOW LONG IS AN SRM HEAD UNIT?
I don’t have one. Someone get on this.
UPDATE: @synthsis used the power of Google to discover that one SRMHU = 66mm.
Which means this stem is about 198mm, which is probably 200mm because it’s ABOUT 3 SRMHUs.
Holy crap, that’s a lot of stem.
A few days late on this. Sorry, THE WORLD.
Andrey Kashechkin has a 200mm stem.
Also probably 15 people sent me this photo - three IN A ROW. This is what my inbox looks like - STEMS. STEMS FOR DAAAYYYYS.
Photos from cyclingtips.
UPDATE: Ed points out that Kashechkin had a 165mm stem earlier this year. This looks like it might be the same stem (save for a different faceplate). But the source image on cyclingtips says 200mm…SO WHO KNOWS?
Can someone go out there with a yard stick and see how big this thing is? (That’s what she said). Or maybe compare the length to the size of an SRM headunit using Photoshop/Science.
@kingnate, of UCI International Elite Team Pat McQuaid’s Anal Lesions p/b Festina, has an Allez that he gave internal Di2 wiring with the help of drill.
It also doesn’t have a bearing cover.
Mark just built up his Venge, which has 105, which means that Mark is a sensible man who wants to crush people but still have enough money to buy beer afterwards.
