I'm interested to hear more in-depth feedback on riding a bike with a 78+ degree seat angle.
If my figures are correct, that would put the seat over 1 1/2 inches further forward relative to the cranks compared to the 73 degree angle on my Tallboy 3\. At the moment, I have my seat all the way forwards, and really appreciate what that does for my position on the bike. If I had to guess, I think I'm running about a 74.5 effective angle in that position. You would need to slam the seat all the way _back_ on the Satori to get into the same position.
I hope I can demo a Satori this spring- I'm intrigued. Between this bike and the new Smuggler, we are seeing two unique and progressive approaches to new school geometry.
