Funny that you posted this, because just this morning, I took the Cannondale out, it is a 53 c to t, with a 53 tt. I have a 120mm stem, and it is slammed on the headtube. I have my classic bend Ritchey's on it with Shimano 10 speed. I set out with the saddle set back some, but kept feeling like I was missing something, and that I was reaching too much with my legs instead of pedaling ( I hope that made since). Anyway, I moved that saddle forward, and raised it to keep my saddle height the same and there you go. I can get really low in this position, the bike still feels a little twitchy when climbing, so I think that maybe one size bigger, a 54 would make that come around, but after doing this I felt like I was actually pushing with my legs instead of reaching and I could lay the power down with this position. This in essence is what you said about Grewal, I have felt this before, that a more forward riding position suited me better.
I appreciate all the help, I am going to take a look at some pics of Alexi. I did get back on the Lemond with the saddle set up the same way and felt good, but could feel like I may have been stretched out some.
Compromise I think between the two frames will put me in a good position. I guess I need to go get my Cervelo from the shop, it is a 54, and I may be able to see what that feels like.
HUMP
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
