Oh.
What frame size is it and what height are you ?
I am currently looking at a Diamondback Interval Pro witha 52cm frame, and I'm 6' 1/2", so hence the seat post question.
Looks purty tho'
It's all your fault (almost)

Giant use the same frames on serveral models, so they often look similareuropa wrote:I hate to tell you this, but the shed door isn't 'cream' coloured. Sorry, your photos don't count

Go ahead and do it, especially if you transfer one of the spacers to above the stem. I rode the girlie bike with the stem 'up' for a fair while (my back still hated me) and finally changed it over Christmas (my back seemed to like it).sogood wrote:You are now a roadie.

To my mind, the seat doesn't seem too high - it isn't that much higher than the bars (the 'big aero boys' tend to have a more significant drop from seat to bars)

Had a fair look around, the only thing I could find wassogood wrote:......Seriously, putting one spacer above (even just a 5mm one) is desirable as it prevents the stem from clamping the end of the steerer as well as provides maximal clamp contact. It all makes perfect mechanical sense. This issue has been said to be particularly relevant to CF steerers. IIRC, Trek or Giant has a specific recommendation on this.
this item from Velonews. Is that what you're thing of?
I'd like to get down and aero with the quick boys but I'd need the physio on speed dial Think it'll take a while to get the best possible setup from the bars. Peters idea sounds like the best early compromise, I'll start from there.
No ride today, Bloodbank. Always take a day off
