hi i went through some tough times trying to source for an old shimano 600 seat post and finally found one after foraging into bins of old lbs-es around town.
While setting up I find that in order to fit my height, I need to set it up about 1cm BEYOND the >>> max <<< indicator on the post....The bike is a steel lugged frame, I'm about 195lbs and 6' tall. The post size is 26.8 and the alloy thickness seems to be around 0.5cm (IMHO, quite thick). At this setting the seat post goes about 2" into seat tube and extends slightly beyond the lug itself.
Is there something i should be worry about?
