Too Much Seat post??

[jinjrich]

Hi All...
Just after opinions really.. i mocked up my kilauea tonight and set my saddle to my usual height (745mm from bb spindle to top of saddle). its been a while since i rode an 18" retro kona (about 20 years!) and i'm a bit put off by how much post is showing.
What does everyone think? The bar drop is ok, it feels allright, but i also mocked up my 19" explosif frame (no pics i'm afraid) and it looks much better...

Re:

One might almost say you have answered your own question, it is your bike if you prefer the 19" then make it so

I think how much post is inside frame is more important!

It will be fine if enough inside, its just down to looks then.

With no tyres on the rims, the frame sits lower relative to the floor, which makes the saddle to top tube gap look even bigger. You also have the saddle slid forwards on an inline post on a frame that is potentially too small, if the saddle was in the right position it wouldn't look so ungainly. Worth a few adjustments I reckon.
