Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

You gotta figure that out yourself. Are you comfortable raising that post? If you're not then leave it as it is.

...or you can be one of those ******s who puts a ridic saddle:bar ratio for show off. It's the 41 anyway.
No. It is going to get a ****ton of miles. It's my first road bike. If I wanted to buy a bike to show off, I would have bought the most expensive roadie, a Pinarello Dogma 2 with EPS. The post is perfect for me where it's at right now. I meant to ask "Does the saddle to bar drop look good?"

Thank you. I'm a little frustrated with my Realtor right now. I'll try again tomorrow.

What's dull are your photo taking skills. At least try to get the whole bike into the picture.

As others have indicated, wrong type of pic for this thread.

That said, nice bike. Love the color scheme.

Now that's out of the way, I would strongly suggest that you keep your public photo access separate from your personal photos.

Especially those of your family.

Particularly those of your children.

Maybe you don't think it's a big deal.

It is.

Some people wouldn't know art if it bit'm in the ass.
The composition is art. The bike is art and
The photograph is art. AND there isn't a single garage door in the frame.
You guys must be kidding.

Then what do you say if we start a petition to change the name of the thread to "Art r Not"?
