• Is this a case of rules are there to be broken or that they are there for a reason?

  • You probably know the answer i.e. the mark is there for a reason.
    The question is more: Is this setup acceptable? :)

    If it were mine (I don't tell you to ride it like that):
    I guess they were taking some margins.
    If it was 2/3/more cm, I wouldn't ride it but this extra 'lenght' here looks reasonnable, especially if:

    • you're not too heavy,
    • the frame and its seatpost clamp are in good conditions.
  • Measure how deep the post goes.
    The most critical is to get it past the seat stay lug.

    Also, how long in total? Personally I wouldn't like less that a sixth of the post inserted.
