Hence everyone saying to get a longer stem first, as the setback seatpost will effectively change the geometry.
Cool, thanks for the info.
I brought my bike into the shop (very fixed gear friendly and knowledgeable) and they said it looked good.
They raised the seat post for me and said that it looked perfect but the reach could be a bit longer.
The pictures might just be a bit hard to grasp but it rides super comfy and I love it thus far.
I just really can't bare the thought of having to go through all of this again. ie: taking the bike apart, selling frame, buying new frame, paying mechanic...
Thanks again for all of the advice. I really do appreciate it.
Hopefully I don't end up on the bikesnobnyc blog.
