Thanks John E, happy to be joining the club, and thanks for the info on the post/tubing. I do agree that the plain gauge is likely to be just the ticket for this type of bike. I'm looking forward to seeing just how relaxed it's going to feel in the end. As I had to find the stem separately (should be arriving at the end of the week!), and will be sourcing replacement stem, bars, it still feels hard to predict.
