  • @edscoble @PhilDAS @853Superfly, thanks for the replies.
    tbh to achieve a perfect fit the original seatpost is only 7-8mm above the minimum line so while not ideal for riding (I’d imagine) the frame isn’t ridiculously small for me.
    Think I’ll explore the option of a slightly longer post before the mine field of selling an essentially unused bike to attempt to replace with someone else’s one size larger ‘hardly ridden’ 3 yr old commuter....

    I advise you to stop riding it until you get a longer seatpost, Cannondale will not honour the warranty if the frame cracked near the seat clamp (it happened more than once on both carbon and alu model).

  • Good advice, I’ve not actually ridden in ‘bigbird’ setting, only sized it against my commuter which does fit. Seems cannondale offer 400mm C2 posts but also found a hylix carbon post from Taiwan on eBay, I’ll see what turns up over the coming weeks before possibly taking the latter option.
