that bike is way too small for you so I'll take it off your hands when you find a proper fit.

nice build

Submitted by cloud on 07/16/2009.

love the frame but my member numbz at the sight of that saddle. i don't know how you do it.

I think Kashimax Aero is a bit more forgiving than 5 Gold due to the thin pad lining and shape. 5 Golds are notoriously rigid. The saddle shape fits me* (*my ass) well. It took some getting used to but all is good now. I can ride 20 miles straight without problems. The decision came between the Kashimax and San Marco. I chose the Aero for the shape and the fact that it wasn't suede (i ride in the rain and would destroy that saddle in a few months). So thats how and why I do it. :)

I have drops...but the stem

Submitted by chewypurple on 06/07/2009.

I have drops...but the stem and bars are CrMo...and its a really heavy combo. If I ever change to alum then maybe...but for now, i like the risers. They're comfortable, responsive and light (good things when riding in NYC traffic :)

But yes, drops do look hot no doubt.

The geometry is tight and

Submitted by chewypurple on 06/04/2009.

The geometry is tight and upright. Its not extra small on me...the reach feels good. I actually rode a 51cm CT before this frame. This feels better to me (granted the geometry is completely different than my previous frame). The top tube measures 52.5cm CC.
