    To advertise it like that they are clueless enough not to have been
    responsible for setting it up like that in the first place. Which means
    there is an even less excusable retailer out there that is responsible
    for it.

    The front reflector looks *really* usefully placed...

    On one of the weekends I was minding the LBS last year, someone came in
    with one like that. What can one say? On the one in the picture, it's
    clear that the front reflector is fouling the downtube, which you'd
    think would be some kind of clue.

    had been on a bike rack and I had not corrected it prior to the photo"

    Eh?

    I assume that it's been used, stored and set-up again for the photo.

    The RRP's about £120, from what I can see. I could be a decent ride.

    Oh, if you tilt the saddle down a bit, that is. My loins ache just looking
    at it. In a bad way. Not that there would be a good way.
