I test rode a Strada on Friday and was blown away at the quality of the ride. It's really quite an
amazing bike. Last year I owned an Optima Baron, so I know I like the hardshell Euro-style seats.
However, the shop where rode the Strada did not have a Corsa to try. So, I'm planning to buy a frame
kit and build it up myself.
My question is, how much change is there in the seat height-to-BB height when switching from the
Bacchetta mesh to the M5? I know the seat itself is lower, but I'm assuming you'd probably have to
scoot it up a bit to maintain the same leg extension.
The Bacchetta web site indicates a difference of 1" (8" on the Strada and 9" on the Corsa), and I'm
wondering if this holds true in the real world.
thanks a bunch
