I wouldn't necessarily call it excessive, but given the seat-tube angle and top-tube length, I wouldn't want a setback post on it.

But you didn't post a funny pic with it so we had to argue for a page before anyone noticed.

LBS finished the conversion last week! New BB, Eighthinch 46t 170mm crank, red chain and 16t BMX freewheel. I wasn't sure if 46x16 was enough but it's actually just right!

silver chain would look soooo much better. otherwise, fun! enjoy it, get some foot retention like scrod straps.

The LBS needs to pull out a full link then toss in a half link, to tighten up the chain, other than that I like it.

It looks great other than the setback. You might find it more comfortable actually with a straight post. I would love to give that bike a ride myself!
