Seat hight vs. Handlebar hight on a CX bike
Not that I race 'cross (yet?), but I did opt for a fit-kit sizing with my new CX bike. Having been a road and MTB racer in my high school days, I was accustomed to having my saddle about one to two inches above my handlebars. The fitting on my 'cross bike put my bars and seat at the same height, due in part to the fact that I've been out of cycling for about 13 years and I'm getting over a back injury. I was advised that the bars can be made lower as my back healed and i was more comfortable on the bike.
How about the rest of you? What is the relationship of your saddle height vs. handlebar height, and what kind of riding do you do with you setups?
