Nice bikes, chazmtb!
Looks like you prefer more forward saddle position (and not exactly horizontal) but use layback seatposts.

@leugene. The specialized romin has a high back and a slight tilt down nose. I should get a zero offset post like a Thompson but I already had a specialized pave with the zerts insert around. Want comfort more than anything else on this build. Hence many spacers below the stem.
