Ok I love this.
Two questions: what is a reliable way to engineer that head tube seam? On the Pole bikes it seemed an obvious point of failure which I specifically asked them when I was considering buying a Machine and Leo said "it's literally impossible to tear through those M5 bolts". But that was before they had ridden in BC and the exact thing I described happened to multiple bikes.
Two: What is the point of all those spacers and then a high rise bar? Why not just make the head tube a bit taller and adjust the reach accordingly for a tidy finish that matches the rest of the bike?
