Holy fcuk is all i can say about that front chainring, it is huuuugggge... i don't even think i'd be able to turn that. Any idea how big it is???

 

[BrindSurch]

I think its about 73t but he only pedals at 75rpm

 

[Michielveedeebee]

what a weird position...

 

[Roland Rat]

It's just a 53t but he's a very small person.

There's no way in hell that position is legal. The tip of that saddle must be in front of the BB, never mind 5cm behind it.

One more example flying in the face of contemporary, "technologically correct" thinking about cadence, crank length, etc. I'd love to hear one of the well-paid physios tell Bowdler he's "not doing it right."
