nice build. it is definitely going to be a hot race machine. your thomson post is on backwards though. T should be at the top on the drive side. maybe that is why the seat is titled down so much?
actually the seatpost is correct. There is a label that states front and that is pointing to the front. I have two other bikes with thomson posts and all have the T at the bottom on the drive side.
Regarding the tilt, I like it with a fair amount of tilt, but prior to my first ride on it I changed slightly.
Thanks for the comment, it really is a hot ride. I was very impressed.
but check out the thomson set back post you have on the blue 29er. that one is installed "correctly" with the T at the top. I don't mean to be rude, it's just an aesthetic thing that gets to me.
you can disassemble the saddle clamp and keep the "front" facing front. just rotate the shaft 180 degrees. i guess if you don't want to, that's ok. they are your bikes, not mine.
enjoy!
