the merkx deserves better a thomson

It's the curse of modern saddles on old bikes. So many of them require an inline post, inevitably 27.2 or thereabouts, and it's difficult to do better than a Thomson for that. Just got a black one for my Colnago. Would have gone for a black series 3T Doric to match the stem but they don't do it in 27.2.

fixed.

Don't think it's the old frame that's an issue, seat tube angle didn't change that much in the last 30-40 years, just that the saddle rail have changed.

I meant that inline posts look out of place on old bikes, when they look fine on newer frames, and that there aren't many silver/inline/27.2 options beyond the Thomson.

Thomsons always look a little odd on road bikes though, irrespective of age.

I never ever notice the seatpost. It's a stick. Unless its in backwards a la gaston it completely slips under my radar..

could be yours...

I'm selling this at the moment, by the way. It's in Australia, but it could be shipped. More photos of it, and details here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/76541430@N04/sets/72157629634229448/detail/

Hipster phots again

Would love to see proper shots of this...

It's the curse of people with short femurs

Grow some proper limbs and you can use a set back post and a modern saddle even with a 72° seat tube

:(

I went from a Regal pushed most of the way to the back on a layback post, to needing an inline to grip the Romin properly in the same position.

You can't see the clamp here but the saddle is pushed back, not forward:

Changed to the Romin:

Wut.

Regal was that the Bob Jackson Ian (colnago_costa) had a while back?
If it is you're making me gutted I passed it up.

No, I bought the frameset new, about a year ago. The setup is a little bit different now, I'll post in CP at some point.

^^^oof!

Disallowing the Storck on the grounds of external battery, stem spacers and cranks.

Durano tyres.

GOD
this is sick!

I hope it gets better.

If it does, he'll pronounce its recovery an answer to prayer.
