a lesson in due dilligence here. more than 3 years ago i bought a 595 frame off the forum. i knew the seat tube had been cut and that the frame was on the small side for me, but assumed i could boost the saddle up with seatpost spacers.
and here we are. a quick mockup shows that i need at least 50mm of spacers to get to around my current saddle height. i can't find the manual for my post (the Re-Post, apparently) but the manual for the later E-Post says not to exceed 30mm of spacers. Currently, the red line is below the top of the tube, but only JUST.
i would sell it, but there's another identical one (same size) sitting unsold on the forum as we speak!
