I appreciate all this feedback.
The 2022 and 2021 are the same. There is a slot in the back of the seat mast to access the screw on the seat post. There is only so much range. This is why there are two seat post lengths. I have a 58cm frame with the tall seat post. It is close to the bottom. Like 1/4 inch left to lower. A short seat post is about 4 cm shorter. That should put the adjustment screw a little half way up. I may get one but the tall post allows me to raise it all the way up for room to clamp my stand.
I could have gotten a 56cm frame. This was in stock and pushed. But I would have needed a 130mm stem and I wanted the taller head tube for comfort. Also the 56cm came with the short seat post and I’d have needed the tall seat post. Or at least it had a short one installed and the shop switched for the test ride. It was a higher level with SRAM electronic shifting and Aeoles Pro 37V wheels so was tempting.
The Isospeed does smooth the fought road. I ran 25mm tires at 100 psi and noticed. But I run 25f/28r for the road now at 75psi f/ 80psi rear. The lower pressure makes more of a difference.
Oh. Take a look at the Check Point. It appears to take a conventional post. If buying today I’d get a new SL6 Check Point instead of the Domane. Same wheels but I’d of just put GP5000 tires on for the road until I got some carbon road wheels.
