It seems that you assume the saddle rails are supposed to be level with the top tube? Well, regardless of whatever thought is going into the various saddle set-ups you've go going on, they're all incorrect. Unless you're riding an extremely aggressive pursuit-style frame, the top part, aka the part you sit on, of the saddle is intended to be leveled out. When you have the saddle sloping down like you do, not only is a lot of your body weight falling on your wrists, but you could potentially lose control of the bike if your weight is not sitting properly or you're riding in some unnatural position, and you have to maneuver or skid suddenly. It looks to me like you need to cut down the seat mast somewhat, and judging by your Dawes, either this bike is wayy to big for you, or the Dawes was way too small. The same person cannot ride both of those bikes. Judging by your profile pic, it looks like the saddles on your bikes are set far too high for you to have an efficient, controlled and thus safe peddlestroke - which is essential on a brakeless fixie. Google search either of the saddles you own and see how the majority of others have them set up. Otherwise go into a bikeshop and ask them to fit you properly to your Fuji. You'll thank yourself! Remember, at the bottom of the peddlestroke, you foot is supposed to be flat and your knee slightly bent.

Thanks! I leveled out the SMP and adjusted it after a few rides; it ended up at almost the same angle as the picture. i had my FTP fitted at a bike shop before they cut my seat tube and my Dawes was way too small for me but i kept it as a communter until i bought the Unknown LV1. my FTP is really comfortable right now and i spend a good amount of time on the drops. I am however having a little trouble fitting my Unknown since i took the risk of buying a non-setback seatpost. Thanks for the advice, i learn something new everyday! :)

what are those deda bullshorns? i looked on the site and the only ones similar are the crononero's but yours are flatter
Posted over 11 years ago
Yea they are Deda CronoNero Low Riders. i currently have them on my Unknown Lv1.
im not sure what you mean by flatter. maybe they have a new model that i dont know about.

Bro I'm thinking about investing in a tri spoke myself, how do you like your trispoke?
Posted almost 12 years ago
It looks cool, rides really smooth, strong and great for city riding. the only thing i dont like about it is the weight. i would be a lot happier with the carbon HED3c.

Totally love your stem/bar combo! And I've been thinking about getting an ellipse set as well but can't convince myself to buy them for street riding.
Posted almost 12 years ago
Thanks, the stem is definitely my favorite part of the bike. My Ellipses ride great and can handle NYC streets but they really shine when i bring them to Central Park roads.

Nice build. Yea gotta fix the saddle angle
Posted almost 12 years ago
i just got the saddle and rode with it once, its comfortable at this angle when i use the drops but will definitely adjust the angle everytime i ride until i find the right one.
Posted almost 12 years ago
that saddle angle
Posted almost 12 years ago
i know it looks really weird but the saddle angle is at zero degrees. Selle SMP saddles have a weird ergonomic design.
