the architect’s MAMIL build

One that has a good sized, grippy external surface area with which to ensure everything keeps nice and tight!

Deda do some good ones, as do Specialized.

Yes I have this exact issue aswell. There are a couple of degrees missing which happen to be the exact angle you need. I'm thinking of trying a bodge putting a thin layer of tape on the inside of one of the clamping points, to push it to the right angle, but if anyone has a better idea (barring just buying a new seat post) I'd be very grateful!

bar drop has nothing to do with your saddle sloping forward though, your saddle should be flat no matter. If it isn't then you might have too much drop, or your saddle is too high

just buy a cannondale SAVE one

I have a 130mm 10° somewhere in my parts bin

It has everything to do with your saddle sloping forward if your setup is fucked.

Or your Seatpost won’t let you set it any other-fucking-way!

what? It doesn't, if for what ever reason you can't set up your saddle without it sloping up or down then yeah it's not the right post for you but that still has nothing to do with saddle drop?
Are you suggesting that you'd move your saddle higher if you can only set it up sloping down?

It was purely metaphorical and a wild over exaggeration, let’s forget I ever said it!

Yeah that’s the ‘logical’ choice.... but an accountant I am not 🤣

Now looking at Fizik Cyrano 00 bars as they are light AF and would match my 00 Antares saddle

i have had an inline one for 6 months, pretty flexible but no issues

110mm X2 Stem thanks to @SuperMario

bit heavy

Still to heavy ;)

Ha! I’ll save that much just from cutting off a load of fork tube when I slam the stem

You are gonna slam a supersix with a -17 thomson ? #respekt

-10 degree!! I’ll try a notional build with spacers tonight #DIYbikefit

Also I’m buying compact bars so it won’t be too mental

but still... a slammed supersix with -10

Supersixes should always be slammed with -10 stem or steeper, no?

building pressure !

Haha! Who cares as long as looks good right?

More pressure !

-17 or GTFO

I agree. Architect all the way (i am too)

Needs to be at least 130mm though

Lol check out my cervelo build on earlier pages if you want to see what a 130mm stem looks like! It was profoundly uncomfortable, but fast af

The bits are arriving tonight so diybodgefit will commence...

Bar tape suggestions? @HoKe seems to think this will look great...
