I hope there is a really low slung frame with bars like Ben likes. Immediately to justify it because it's good for their backs.
@ss4oLe:
I have a bad back. Haven't been able to ride in about 5 months because of it. I had back surgery about 7 years ago. I know about back pain.
I don't know how this set up would do anything for my back. Seems like the front end would just be super choppered and slow feeling. The distance between the pedals/grips would be the same as a 20 inch front end. just higher up. Seems like taller bars would be better for a taller stance, for ones back. ?
I do have the parts to do this though so maybe I'll throw it together and see how it feels. Although I'll only be able to pedal around the 'hood. No bunnyhops or anything.
Prodigal Son:
The amount of people who said "Ahhhhh my back, I need big bars."
Everyone knows the truth is no one wants to be left out because they have 8.5" or smaller.
Brooklynrider:
I personally found that smaller frames helped my back more than any other bike part. You don't have to hunch over as much when you're in a manual or mid bunnyhop.
dude...:
a little reminder that i stand 6'6 tall, before everyone starts bashing my handlebar preferences yet again. if i was a shortarse id be all over scerbos cos theyre my favourite looking bars.
i wonder about frame lengths these days like brooklyn rider said too, seems like at least 90% of people are riding 21+ tts these days with back ends that are shorter to compensate. i reckon some of the shorter guys would benefit from a slightly shorter frame so theyre not so stretched out and hunched forward.
personal preference though, everyones bodies are so different, you have to go with what feels best for you
