    I don't know why nobody could 'cope' with that saddle to bar drop - it's not that much! Everyone seems to have a really bad back or something; it's very rare I see another bike with bars lower than the saddle!

    Anyway - it's looking really good now (not that it wasn't before)! :D

    I know what you what you mean, every bike I tend to see is the same, probably something to do with cycling being the we golf. It's all about form, there is a big difference between a cyclist and somebody who rides a bike.

    Loving the bike, especially now youve cut the steerer down :lol:

    Dont let the doom-spreaders tell you what drop you should or shouldnt have - if youve done 2k miles on it and it feels fine, its fine!

    No problem with that set up from where I'm looking and the bike is looking flippin' lovely - those Strettos are seriously nice.

    That's hardly the best-angled pic to use if you're trying to make a point about saddle/bar drop. As others have said, the drop is no big deal. Great bike - I'm a fan of Modas.

    Out of curiosity what is seat to bar drop? I'm guessing at 140mm

    The drop is 155mm, and very comfortable.

    A few changes, 3T stem and seat post to replace the Barreli carbon bits. Selle SLS seat and some black bar tape.

    Loving the bike, upgrades really make it look like a first class machine.

    I guess the frames a 56cm?

    :lol: love the comments about the saddle to bar drop height :lol:

    I have the same problem Super Prestige, I'm 6' and ride a 56cm. Because it's a compact frame there's loads of post sticking out and I get a lot of comments about the frame being too small for me despite the fact that I've ridden it for thousands of miles and find it the most comfortable bike I have ever ridden. I even went for a Bike-Fit and the guy said I needed a bigger frame. Thought about, advertised my bike for sale, then thought stuff it.

    Horses-for-courses.

    Looks better with the black finishing kit, lovely :D

    The final version, this has been one of the best bikes I have had. Over 3 years use 20k under the belt on it, but alas it is time to move on. I may well regret it but I have to scratch the S-Works Venge itch I have.
    First £1500.00 takes it as it is.
