Porter's a blowhard, but his bike's working pretty well for me (albeit in a smaller size than he says I should ride and with strong size wheels).

at least your bars and saddle aren't oriented like an asshole.

Nah that's just his facial expression when he rides it.

I like to ride it in the nude, to make my public assholery as literal as possible.

I guess technically that's a skinsuit.

So youre saying the only thing about Porters bike thats working for you is the raked out head angle?
Which would make sense for most bikes that do most of their miles downhill in stead of climbing.

Bigger wheels would change the bb height which would change a lot of the ride characteristics and and a larger frame would also have a significant influence on handling.

But yeah otherwise that looks like a fun bike for someone whos a friggin giant.

Kind of though. The steep seat tube angle and relatively low stack height work well for me too. It's also just a well built, stiff bike with very very good suspension kinematics.
