Thanks guys.

I've got a specialized Allez - I'm 6' tall which is right on the threshold between a 56 and 58 according to their charts.I tried the 56 and it felt too cramped so I went for a 58 but this now seems too stretched when I'm on the hoods so I thought a combination of a shorter stem and a seatpost with no offset should sort that out.

I guess I asked the original question in case having no-offset or layback would make the ride unnecessarilly harsh.

Cheers for the help and advice.

nicely illustrated

diameter of post, desired material?

Will be 27.2 and most likely alloy or the cheapish carbon one.

Thanks - it's the last one I was thinking of.

One with no layback.

Is that different to no offset?

I was thinking of getting an inline seatpost just to shorten the length of my bike a fraction.

Are there any drawbacks to be aware of with running these on a road bike?

£8 posted for the skewers ?

Anyone have a decent road stem to get rid of?

1 1/8the threadless with 26.0 clamp 1 1/8th size and 90-100mm long ?

Will need to be posted.

This looks like a good buy for someone £150 BIN - Not sure that it looks to be a 64cm from the picture.

Can't seem to attach a picture for some reason. PM me with your email if you want one.

I'll swap - ridden mine on a 20 min commute for 6 months.

Will attach a picture shortly.

Used Pearl Izumi cycling shoes - UK Size 10 (Euro 45s) - Not sure of the model.

Used condition - a few scratches on the soles (which have I-BEAM on if it helps identify them). Has some used SPD cleats attached but looks like they accept others.

Picked them up to use myself but can't be bothered to change my pedals.

Looking for £12 posted from Reading.

^ Did you look at the pictures ?

I've got a Weinmann long drop caliper - Type 730.

£5 posted if you want it.

I've got a 42t chainring that came of 600 cranks. The ring itself is just marked "Shimano 42t" and KI-2.
