Thanks mate.

Frame is 15.5 C to C and 18.5 C to top.

Great - similar to mine it seems

Noticed you were using an M900 xtr post on full extension - is there enough material in there to safety secure it? I was under the impression these posts weren't too long :/

Looking for a decent period correct layback post myself and its a shame the Shimano posts weren't very long.

Its not up to the max line thankfully. There is plenty still in the frame.

The seat post is a 350 mm so it has 130 mm in the frame....

That's reassuring. On the look out for one then

Re:

I hope you find one. I bought that one about 2 years ago on eBay but they do come up now and again...

 

[jez-4-bikes-max]

They're really expensive £100 +!

Just found this thread, and really enjoyed the read.

But... most of the photos have been Photof#cketed. I know there are a lot, but any chance of de-Photobucketing this thread Giom6? There’s some proper CR history here that I’d hate to see lost for eternity
