De Rosa Rosso Corsa

I have a few others that I probably shouldn't be riding, but even with my largest frames, I've still got a lot of post showing. Problem with excessive inseam!

I also have this issue. My latest acquisition is a 64.5cm seat tube yet I still have a fair amount of post showing. Luckily it's the trend these days. My Merckx corsa Extra is a 63cm but I run 180mm cranks on that.

Yes, I experimented with a really big frame for my gravel ride, and even then my long legs get in the way.

Thanks for the update, great to hear that the bike rides well

It does, but I had a failure of the brand new, super sticky rear Michelin which picked up a stone chip, so back to my trusty old Contis. And I got rid of the purple cage, my wife said that was OTT. The original owner is trying to track down the original wheelset, as he added the Shamals in '93.

Yes purple and red clash for sure , a silver Ciussi cage would look good

LOL, I put the purple one on to pick up the logos on the Shamals. Anyway, agreed on the Ciussi.
