Anyone else run a Tomson w/ the angle forward on their road bike? I bought 2 of them a few weeks ago (wonderful workmanship) and found the best setup w/ my Toupes is with the angle (7 degree I believe) set forward, not back. This allows me to mount the saddle in the center of the rails.

Does this seem off to anyone? BTW - I have fairly short arms compared to my inseam. I guess I could have gone w/ shorter stems (both are stock 90 mm) but I wanted Tomsons anyway.

Thanks

It's not a typical setup, but if you have some odd proportions, that might be what you need. I'm on the opposite extreme, needing a setback seatpost with the saddle all the way back.

What does that do to your knee postion relative to the pedals?

I would think it would put you way too far forward. Adjusting the saddle position is not the way you solve reach problems.

W/ the 90mm stems I am KOPS on both bikes! I guess the bottom line is it's comfortable.

If the position allows you to reach KOPS, go for it.
