Aha I have the same comically long and skinny post on my 26” on one inbred pub bike and it waggles me about like a spinning plate on a stick, which I’m not saying is a bad thing. Back when i was a cycle courrier (*lights pipe and puffs) the desired setup was strong cheap flexy and simple so smallish steel frame, rigid forks, long post and 2” tires was pretty standard. I also fondly remember snapping my weekend bike, a cannonade m1000, clean in half and never touching ally since.
