You do know that the bike in that photo is actually a French-made TVT Concorde and not an Italian-made Ciöcc Concorde? 

I’ve got a team issue Ciöcc built one in Columbus SLX. Great bike. Might even have been Sean’s.

I tried counting the stupid

I tried counting the stupid in that article and ran out of fingers.

I think the take-home message is that if you like to crash often, then you’d be better off choosing a more upright bike as your head is slightly less likely to hit the floor (although they’ve provided zero figures or references to statistics).

Personally, I prefer to just avoid crashing, but maybe that’s just me.

What a pointless article!

What a pointless article! Well, erm… maybe bikes with top tubes are well, erm, maybe a teensy bit more dangerous for erm, well really old people and, erm pregnant people. Well, maybe…
