A 74.2 saddle height and a 5cm setback can be accomplished, I have done it myself at home. Both of those bikes have 74 degree seat tube angles. Like I said, given the reach number, I can see it being 5. I have my saddle right now on a Cdale 52 at 74.8. The saddle slammed back only gives me 7.0, and the reach with a 130mm stem is 57 to 57.5. So if you just take that and move my saddle forward 2 cm, you can see that the reach number given of 55.2 can be achieved.

Venge offset is 25mm standard- I used to sell them. Even on the Foil his saddle is decently shoved back on that post albeit it looks like he went 1 size up from the Venge.

Where would I get something like that? I can picture it being a thermos for those long cold rides.

for some reason when I see local riders blow it up at these tours I just think rampant doping.
