Assuming the BB drop is still 68mm, a 2" tire should yield a BB height of
~274. Low for singletrack, but probably fine everywhere else.

Hey DP. I agree with you about parallel-ish bars being not-great on
technical descents. I mean, with the exception of dirt drops, but that's a

What I really want is a sprung Brooks, but I'm not heavy enough to actuate

The only other option I know of is the Rivet Loveland, which I've heard is

Anything else to consider?

As a thriftier alternative to, say, a large Sackville Saddlesack, Fabs

Anyone else running a similar configuration?

Thanks for all the replies. I hadn't considered clearance when swinging my

Joe,I don’t but the saddle is as low as it will go. My inseam is 30 inch. My PBH is 82.5. The bike rode well for me in that position but overall the frame is a size too big (that’s why I’m selling it). With the saddle raised to its tallest point it’s 40 inches from the top of the pedal fully do
