Just picked up a new custom hardtail frame and it looks like something went way wrong with the frame
tube/angle calculation.
The best I can get with the saddle all the way forward is my knee a good inch in back of the
pedal spindle.
I've ridden in front of KOPS - on a too-short frame. Main effect seemed to be to put my butt too far
back on the saddle as my bod found KOPS on it's own while riding.
But this is the first time I've had a too-long frame and been behind KOPS - seems like the narrowing
of the saddle as one moves forward would mitigate against my bod finding KOPS on it's own.
The reason I'm trolling for someobody who rides behind KOPS is that I'd like to think this isn't
a total loss and I'm going to be able to ride it without the prospect of repetitive-use injury
to my knees.
But I wouldn't want to find out the hard way....
