Cinelli Vigorelli 2010 (with paint stripping)

Not sure why someone is telling me to lower my saddle height. No one has a clue how tall I am. Troll? The saddle doesn't have much of an angle to it (if at all). It just looks like it from the angle this picture was taken from.

Are you are suggesting I get a different stem instead of changing the headset? I think putting in a non-cartridge headset would improve the bike anyway. Get rid of that extra steerer length too - way more than I'd ever need. And then if I did ever want to decrease the saddle-to-bar distance then I can get a stem which rises.

Yeah, I like the paintjob but at the end of the day it's only the image of the bike. Raw looks equally 'cool'.

Nice build, Phil.

Another point to mention is that by putting in a non-cartridge headset you would also make the geometry of the bike ever-so-slightly more aggressive - which would be nice.

the point people are making is that your frame seems to be too small. running that much seatpost and that stem length certainly indicates that.

the saddle should be level with the floor.

how would a non cartridge headset improve the bike?

putting a different headset would not affect geometry. terminology confusion. it could affect the reach if thats what you mean.

putting a stem with rise on a track bike = wouldnt necessarily shorten the reach.
and besides, if you want the bike to have an 'ever-so-slightly more aggressive' feel, definately a bad move.
