Steepest seat-angles with round seat-posts?
Quote | Reply
I did a search but cannot find a good (current) list of the steepest bikes that are currently offered in a round seat-post configuration. Here is what I have so far... feel free to ad to it:

Aegis Zaero - 80 degrees

TitanFlex - adjustable

Many titanium and Aluminum as well as Calfee carbon - custom

Anyone got anymore? Links would be great!

Pretty sure Serotta and Klein made tri bikes with angles around the 80 degree mark

Klein may have in the past but didn't in 2007.

Serotta has a custom (CXII)

You slide your TF up to 80degrees I'd think iit would have pretty twitchy handling, lots of weight out toward the front, but to each their own

No, - wasn't bad on my TitanFlex 650c medium. I had a fork with a 43mm rake, a long top-tube (certain frames are longer than others) and a decent stem... wasn't be bad at all.

I hear this a lot about TitanFlex and I think the reason is that people run forks with short rakes.

The Yaqui Ocotillo and Manzanita are available in 78 degree configurations.

Since when does the Zaero have a round seat tube?



A custom version?

I have edited my post. I should clarify. I am looking for a round seat-post insert.

The Zaero has a round seatpost insert.

The reason why I am looking for this configuration is because it leave the option of using a forward seat-post (giving a very forward position - this is the goal).

I currently ride a Cervelo P2C and it just isn't steep enough...

My Yaqui Mariola has a round, 27.2 seatpost and seat tube of 81.5 degrees. In the four years I have had it I have gone forward more and back more and ended up pretty much where Ves designed it to be ridden. And contrary to an earlier post-er's opinion, handling is a function of design, not riding forward. Ves's bikes handle well when ridden steep because he knows what he is doing.

Is that a custom Yaqui Mariola or is that stock? If stock, then what year?

The bike was stock DE (for Dan Empfield) Geometry. Ves offers four different geometries in a variety of sizes, so his bikes are effectively custom. If you are really a mutant and need custom it is something like an extra $200, but I doubt there are very many people who actually need this.
