Ritchey Swiss Cross Canti finally done

Much better.  I love a good fast steel bike.

But your seat post is bent!  LOL.

Heh Heh - actually, for many years I rode with a zero setback post. Probably because of my long legs and short torso, I found this easier on my back. Also, my last 10 years or so of racing, I became an ITT specialist. If you look at how TT bikes are setup you slide as far forward on your saddle - literally perching on the nose of the saddle- so that you can get your max aero position. In fact, this extreme position became so prominent, that the UCI made a rule that the tip of your saddle had to be at least 2cm behind the center of the bb. Hence the amusing pictures of pro's riding TT's with cut off saddles. Now, that I'm old and stiff, I no longer need to be aero. Instead, I'm listening Greg Lemond, who recommends a more relaxed saddle offset, both for all day comfort, and for additional power climbing. Seems to work for me.
