    The meme shows only bikes with flat handlebars, like commuter bikes intended for transportation.

    Every bike you posted are high performance racing bikes with specialized aerodynamic handlebars.

    Different priorities. Triangless bikes with a top bar is not a good idea for commuter bicicles like the ones in the meme.

      I still showed that it’s perfectly possible to build a bike without a seat tube, hell I’m sure we can find 90s examples that weren’t high performance bikes.
