How long have you had yours? Any advice?
I've had mine for I think ~18 months. Forgot to mention that mine is the SRAM Apex version - what you're looking at is a step up. If they still come with the same saddle, it's pretty bad.
The top tube measurement on the Lechamp is measured as if it were level (straight tube) - which is called the "effective top tube".
