Ken, Thanks for the explanation of the flex. I wouldn't describe myself as muscular, and I don't ride hard. Your comment about the seatpost is very astute—you hit it right on the head! The reason this came up is because I snapped my seatpost, and I went to the LBS to order a steel one to replace it. They saw the riser and were concerned (although they had seen it before and hadn't said anything). The emergency braking scenario rather than repeated flex is what is bothers me.
I have back issues so I do sit upright, but the riser made a huge, huge improvement in my comfort. I've ordered my Bombadil, but I think I'll stay with the riser until it gets here. Hopefully not too long! Thanks again to everyone who replied, Tom PS my Grand Prix's seat tube is 60 cm centre-to-top, and I couldn't see any bigger ones from the '70s catalogues I looked at on Sheldon's site... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
