    Saddle Position with the forward Seat Tube?

    Sorry that I just saw this. My frame is a 58. And yes angles are similar to my other race bikes but since the Cannondale seat tube meets the BB forward of its center, it effectively moves the saddle forward without a steeper ST angle. Since my original post above, I have put my saddle on the...

    Saddle Position with the forward Seat Tube?

    I'm hoping somebody here has some good info or at least some good ideas. I've been putting a bunch of miles on my stock '86 SR800 and fine-tuning my fit along the way. In trying to get my saddle in the same place as my other race bikes with similar 73 degree ST angles, I run into the problem...

    These Bikes Are Not Bad

    While visiting family in TX this past Spring, I found a deal on a ‘92 3.0 R600. I put on new cables, housings, GP5000s, tubes, bar tape, hoods, and a nice Turbo saddle. Sweet Fast ride. It fits my brother too if the saddle is lowered most of the way so I left it with him and planned to find...
