hey!

classic bike nuts like to have 'one fist of seatpost' showing, 'cause that's how they sized them back in the day (and rivendell and 47x16 like that sizing too).

i like to have two fists, and about 100mm of track-drop stem, but that's an aesthetic thing. i also teach fitness classes, have pretty good core/pillar strength, and can touch my toes.

if the bike isn't hurting you, and you don't feel too stretched out on it, i'd say you're good.
