Bikes: 1980's Olmo Super Gentleman, 1992 Trek 930, 2009 Bianchi C2C

Interesting discovery this morning. Gratefully the Navy allows for us to workout in the mornings so I leave the C2C in my office for my 25k “workouts” and since I consider her pretty much dialed in I thought I would use her measurements to set up the Olmo to determine if I really needed a new frame. I know that there has been some changes over years on road bike geometry however I was surprised to see the following measurements on the C2C. I know my saddle height with clip-less peddles and shoes is 74cm.

BB to TT 52cm??
ST to FT 56cm??
Top of saddle from floor 98cm
Top of bars from floor 92cm (6cm difference from saddle to bars, I usually ride on the hoods which is comfortable for me even on long rides)
Wheel base 101cm

Tonight I will re-measure the Olmo however with the Brooks B17 and a Chorus aero post I may be ok. The Cinelli 44cm bars should be in this week which mach the width of my shoulders and the Richey Logic bars off the C2C.

I will post more pics this week. So far I have ordered the Brooks aged honey B17, Crane creek hoods, new tape, and Kool Stop cyclocroos pads. Below is a pic from the catalog.
