I doubt that, but I don't doubt that you have a point about my sitting too low (on my 55 cm--blush--bike). I think I'll raise the seat 2-4 mm at a clip and see what happens. First raise did not seem to make any difference that I could tell, so I'll just keep it up until I can't reach the pedals anymore--or until this old frame can't get to the seat.

If this works, I'll credit you with a good suggestion. If it doesn't, I blame you for all my ills--like forgetting my shoes.......
