| | Because it was built wrong for a very tall person. Extended head tube and stem angle <90deg is going past where you want to be then turning back to get there. Horizontal top tube is an affectation for somebody with so little saddle to bar drop, could easily have sloped it to where the stays cross the seat tube. |

| | Spoks rightly come in for a lot of criticism when applied wrongly, but it's worth remembering that they were an aerodynamic improvement over the then current wire spoked wheels back in the late 80s, and even the great Chris Boardman used them for domestic time trials. That Yamaguchi appears to date from a time when a Spok was a valid wheel choice for a racing bike, so on this one occasion having a Spok does not automatically and of itself make the whole bike anti. |
