The adjust makes a huge difference for me with the small frame. When I ran it with the wheel far forward for a week mainly for fender fit, the bike was harsh to ride despite using a zero offset seat post. The chain angle was very steep in the climbing gears. With the wheel far back it felt like dragging a bag of sand and comfortable. I swear I will identify what off shelf stock this small frame really is one day. It seems to be more in line with campeur minus the braze-ons and fork offset.

I am, also, amazed at the number of people still coming up to me stating they are waiting for full builds or frames. The other day a bike shopper owner expressed the same issue.
