GA2G, I've not met you yet, so can you help me put this into some sort of perspective. Are you a pretty long-leggetty beastie then, to be flashing those long seatposts so wantonly? And how much of this girth do you have exactly?
Take me, I'm no classic cyclist - 6'1, 16st but I only have a 32" inside leg, so I have a large frame and a really short seatpost. I wince at half the bikes I see on the forum.
My bike is also transport, so I carry a fair bit of weight most days - 30-50lbs, sometimes more. What about you - is there extra load from a backpack etc?
