i wondered the same thing about the saddle. while i do respect that everyone's personal fit can be unique, that just looks like a crotch scimitar. and does it hurt your wrists being pushed forward like that?

Hehe, that was an experimental position for some climbing in Palos Verdes... which actually wasn't bad.. on the way up. Bombing down... yeah... not so much

i was gonna write something mean, but instead, Ill just point out your semi-obsurd gearing and tell you to that, if this is your first CX bike, you are gonna wanna change that out pronto.

why would you write something mean? .. what seems to be your problem with my gearing? been pushing this thing for a couple of weeks now; road, climbing, off road... seems perfect to me.
