Fun discussion!
So to get my seatpost to be closer to the minimum insert line without using a Brooks, I simply increase the crank length! Cool! I can now ride a smaller frame! I risk pedal rash on corners though.
I was wondering why my left thigh was experiencing a little pain after commuting with 175's all week and then taking the classic out for a ride with 170's on the weekend! Could this be why I like the Pinarello more than the Colnago because one is 172.5 and the other is 170?
Lots of questions and food for thought!
Damn, shouldnt' have sold those 165 NR cranks!
