If that’s your proper seat height in the last photo, sure hope there’s lots more seat post in the frame. My neck and wrists hurt looking at it.
Oh ok, I did not even notice the cable housing, will def swap that. Thanks for the tip on the length of the housing; could very well be the issue on my one ten!

That is a longer seat post than what came with the bike but I have not even tried to ride or setup the fit yet. Rear wheel is at LBS as it required truing beyond my skill set. This is smaller than my other frames and from what I understand more suited for my height (5'8") so am curious how this will work once all put together. Also I can't seem to develop a taste for drop bars so I will be putting some bull horns on there.
