Hey Lon:
I suggest you go have a good talk with Tom Kellogg at Spectrum about compact frames being less stable on high speed descents, because that guy has in fact forgotten more about bikes than you or your anonymous pal have in probably 10 or 20 of your lifetimes.
And how you determined that Beloki's crash was the result of a compact frame, well, only you and the Tooth Fairy know the answer to that, talk about reaching for a conclusion????????
I have a feeling old Tom would laugh immensely at a generalization like compact frames being inherently less stable at high speed descents than traditional frames. That generalization is almost as laughable as your seatpost drivel. Now lay off the sauce young man. And please do post another "brilliant" response so I can laugh at something else. Compact frames are inherently less stable, LOL.
After you get done being laughed at by Tom, go pose the same theory about compact frames being less stable to Carl Strong, Mark VanDeMark, Brent Steeleman, or perhaps Ben Serotta. That should be good for a few more laughs on their part.
