Hi there
I have a weird problem, and I hope somebody will help me.
I'm designing my whole build in my head, but i have a concern about the seat post.
Lets start : I'm 6'1" (185cm) tall, my inseam is 85 cm (33,5"). I want to buy FBM Sword frame, and the frame size is 56cm (center of bb to center od top tube - pic : http://fbmfixed.com/imgs/56SwordSQDims-detail.jpg ) So the seat tube length from center to the top should be around 59-60cm. I would like to know, how much of the seatpost will stick out from the frame, for a comfortable riding position. I dont need a precise number, but a length range would be nice. Maybe you are about the same size as me and you can make some measurements. I will be using San Marco regal seat, which is about 5cm tall from the rails to the top of the seat, so by substracting this number, I will estimate the distance from the end of the seattube to the seat post clamps.
Also, considering my height, and the frame geometry, would the 100mm stem be good for me ? I will be using straight handlebars.
Cheers from Poland, robert
