Don't grab 'em by the top tubes 😬

Why not? Could it get deformed by the bike's weight?

Depending on the frame, the clamping force and/or weight could deform the top tube, as it is not designed to bear vertical loads

It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.
