Do you actually have a 993, or just the diecast toys behind glass in your living room?

I just fooled with the seat again. I bumped it up a notch and settled down on the stationary trainer for about a half an hour.
After about 20 minutes my taint starts going numb.
I dunno... I think I'll lower it again and just suffer the criticism from Bonno.

The 2 red tires look good.
If you want 1 of each color I would definetely put the red one in the back.
Otherwise it looks like your bike is a build up of 2 different ones, half of a red one and half of a black one. What kind of glue did you use?

As for the saddle, a notch nose up wouldn't be bad, but the Aliantes do tend to flare up in the back more than other saddles when it is properly 'leveled'. Don't you love getting advise you didn't ask for?

i've always really loved that look.
i agree on matching front and rear.

If you're still having issues (I'm surprised your arms/shoulders/hips/lower back aren't killing you) with numbness, try a new seat. Took me 4-5 different seats to find one I liked, which happens to be a Specialized Toupe.

I would like to see that. I think it would look best that way.

I like the option using two red tires. It simply looks better. I like symetry.
For some reason, the two differant tires reminds me of laziness. As if you ruined one tire and replaced it, but were too lazy or too cheap to replace both.
