Part of what I thought was final fiddling was to position the seat. I set it to a position on the frame roughly as it was on my previous Giro.
A few metres down the road showed that the seat needed to go back further which puts it only 10mm from as far back as it can go because of a cable guide lug. This a small frame.
My previous Giro 20 was also a small frame and the seat was a lot further forward.
I am much the same as 11 years ago (an inch shorter but probably off the trunk rather than the legs). The cranks are 175mm.
The obvious difference is the type of seat but my mental efforts at geometry fail me and I cannot understand why the more modern Euromesh seat should be further back than the older style 'Recurve' seat.
The final fiddle ride was over quickly because other things needed fiddling - like two working brakes are better than one and the handlebar stem will not sheer while it isn't bolted up tight enough to stop it turning on the stem post.
Any thoughts on this, please?
I spoke to cycleman last night he suggested asking here after he had suggested a trailer. I haven't worked that one out yet!
