HUMP DIESEL wrote:He rides a 52, that with a standard seatpost, neither of those have offset, The one on the Venge has maybe a tad, but not 2.5CM. 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.
Alex Diniz, who won the mountain top finish at San Luis, is riding a Caloi, that is a painted Giant tcr, you can even spot "Rabobank"

I never took drugs to improve my performance at any time. I will be willing to stick my finger into a polygraph test if anyone with big media pull wants to take issue. If you buy a signed poster now it will not be tarnished later. --Graeme Obree

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

Looks like Nibali's still in the raised bar position, and it's obviously working.

also, a great set up!! not sure about the orange/red but nevertheless...

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