So, despite what John said, this month is a special month - maximum seat postage month. Has there ever been so much seat post shown in one place at one time? Doubt it!
 
Forgot to say, GoldenEra, I am pretty sure that Henrik Djernis won one or two of his world champs on a Ritchey with an extended seat tube like that Empella so that he could reduce the weight of the bike.

I still maintain that a lot of people pull their seatposts up by at least a couple of inches before they take a photo to put on here. Some truly monstrous ones on here.

That Steelhead is pretty tidy - I saw on the build thread that there was a batch for tall guys so out of interest, how long is the top tube?

Thanks. It's a 20.5" (c-to-c) frame and the top tube is 23.5" (also c-to-c).

Some of us are 6'6" tall. :)

I didn't want to enter this last month with Bushpig's (winning!) Cunningham already in the mix, but here's my 1994 Steve Potts Steelhead.

Must. Get. One.
 
I like the Empella's novelty. The "weight saving" argument doesn't really work on a steel frame, the extra tube weighs more than a post would (especially as it's got the heavy part of a post still in it) :) Makes for an endearingly unusual frame, though.
 
12. Bikes can only be entered once in a normal month and once in a special month.

Since last month was a special month (Made in USA) I'm pretty sure he's allowed to enter in a normal month afterward. At least that's how I interpret it.
