One other thing you should remember: the saddle position is a completely independent adjustment. It has nothing to do with getting the right reach to the handlebars only with butt comfort and pedaling efficiency. It would be helpful for you to clarify what you mean by "there was an improvement in support but was to far back". Do you mean your pedaling was adversely affected, or do you mean you were having trouble reaching the bars. My point is that you get the saddle right for comfort and pedaling efficiency without regard to reach to the bars. When the saddle is just right, if you need to adjust reach, you don't move the saddle, you move the handlebars with a different stem length, angle or flip (up or down).
[MENTION=183557]rpenmanparker[/MENTION] you hit nailed it! I put the saddle back and put the 100 mm stem and everything fell into place! Was on the saddle correctly and stayed there and reach seemed perfect. so was stem issues all along, I ordered a 110 mm just to see how it is on there but the 100 seems a perfect fit...LOL I gave my friend back his straight thomson and ordered a thomson set back, I know everybody hates the look but I actually like the "laid back" look from my old BMX days Thanx again for all your help and everyone on the thread~
