69 degree seat tube angle and seat/post types
« on: December 16, 2014, 08:49:39 AM »
Ok here's the deal. Unless I get enough money for a custom, next time i need a frame I'm getting a benny l frame. its the closest i can get to custom for me. I had a frame with a 69 degree seat tube angle before and it put my pivotal seat in a weird position. it was either way too cranked back or so flat forward that it looked pretty off. I was curious if anyone had a picture of a tripod seat set up on a frame with a 69 degree seat tube angle so I can see if that works better with it. Thanks.

yep! if the benny l had a 11.5bb it would be ideal. Also I've become accostumed to a 75.5ha, which makes my options less. I'm sure I could adapt to a 75 again but after this long I rather keep with what I know works for me already.
