I'm sure the commission for the affiliate link is a nice fat check.
I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot stick.
Don't grab 'em by the top tubes ๐ฌ
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
Taking not being a fit cyclist to the next level.
I don't know that I'd hold it against any mechanic for having one of these. Even if you're super fit, these bikes can weigh 80+ lbs and you might be working a dozen+ of them per day every business day.
That's ridiculously heavy. Okay, mechanics have a legit excuse for not being strong enough to lift bikes.
I think most mechanics are fully capable of lifting 80 lbs onto a stand, but doing it many times a day every day for years without a break seems like a recipe for back injuries.
I can lift mine up with one hand even, but only once or twice lol. After that I'd probably be increasingly unenthusiastic about it.

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.
