He's getting a custom frame built for a good reason. There's nothing off the shelf even close to those proportions. And not everyone is looking for a big saddle to bar drop even on the road.

The angles on the Trek 50cm are likely so far off that the fit wouldn't work out even if he could find a long enough seatpost and tall enough stem.

Speaking of the greater 41, what the heck happened in that work stand thread? Simple question, simple answers based on personal experience, now everyone wants to kill each other. Then again, sounds like typical 41 behavior.

It's highly unscientific compared to the Bontrager and Specialized approach with different widths in each saddle, etc. To make matters worse, I'm clearly between a Chameleon and a Snake according to the stretch chart, but when I was putting in serious miles, I loved my Aliante, which was the Bull saddle. Go figure.

Or as @rjones28 would say, "Whatever."

Don't forget that adding spacers to increase the effective head tube height actually shortens the reach due the back leaning angle of the head tube. You can actually go to a somewhat longer top tube/larger size frame. Because of the need for so muc head tube, the reach will be shortened.

glad to see another geocacher on here. whenever i mention it to people i either get really weird looks or a lot of "thats awesome!" like were finding dubloons in the woods

working on a sweet puzzle cache that involves 4 locations and a computer for a flash drive, nice large size container at the end though :)

I like to do it in the cooler months when the foliage is down and when I ride more for relaxation. BTW, I posted the same two pics on FB and my wife said I was weird. :D

Not only do I know what a Unicantor looks like. I know what it feels like.
