When good people do bad things to a mediocre bike
I can just imagine the conversatation at the bike shop when this bike was purchased...."No sir, it does not come in a larger size, but we can certainly make it fit with a new stem".

I worked at a shop and we had a customer who had numerous heart surgeries and couldn't lean over on his bike anymore due to it. We did something like that to his Trek Madone. Better to do that to a bike, then lose another avid rider on the road. He passed away about a year later. RIP Jerry.

Your picture seems not to be showing, so I submit one of my own:

oh man.. one time i saw a guy with a traditional department store Y framed full suspension bike. he had a rear rack on it. the top part was attached to the seat post, and the bottom struts were attached on the frame by the rear wheel.
i bet he had a shock when the plastic rack snapped and the bike got a couple inches lower in the rear.
