The Circuit is a 56, and with the saddle at 31" and the stem at minimum insertion, it's still 2cm more bar drop than any of my other bikes. Do-able for rides as long as 55 miles, but I has lower back ache for a couple days after I rode it for 65.
Cervelo has a 6 inch saddle to stem drop the ritchey has a 5.5 inch drop. The emonda I test rode today was a 56. Had the saddle at 31 inches, saddle drop was 5.5 inches. |

Only a few more mowings left there this year. :( |
Do you get paid for mowing those lawns, VV?

I have really long legs but a short torso long arms.
I like the reach of the 56. I’m a little worried I will feel to stretched on a 58 but, I might be over thinking it. |

But it gets me out of my Knox County boondocks bubble and I get some exercise. |

You called it a bike ferry, as if it operates just for cyclists.

You should add potatoes to a cheesy bean and rice burrito sometime. It's excellent, especially if they make it well.
I worked at a Taco Bell as my second job in high school. Still love it, although it kills me how expensive it's gotten. I can live without the 7 layer, but I hope at least they learned their lesson in pulling potatoes off the menu. |

Yes, but once you figure in travel for the one I did today (church-related radio station), it's not much.

Well, it is a bike trail. And it’s familiarly called the “bike ferry.” I guess some pedestrians use it, but it’s a long walk for most people.

As a vegetarian I would certainly consider Taco Bell in a pinch. I would prefer chipotle. And if out in the boondocks with no Chipotle, would prefer a Veggie sub from Subway over Taco Bell tbh.

I shoot for 2cm

It was about age 53 when I injured my back the last time. Plus, I worked on cars for 12 more years after that. |

I havnt noticed any lower back discomfort. I did a century with it in this position and other than the usual discomfort that I get (hot foot), tight back, it didn’t feel any different than any other time. I did notice on yesterday’s 60 mile ride my upper back hurt in the shoulder area. I think this is more from keeping my shoulders and neck tense when Inride, I have to constantly remind myself to relax. |
