I'm with Gary. The Big Agnes SL2 is great. Just the right size and

Any of these would be great.

I packed an SS bike on a tour for someone who had to leave on short

Lynne,
My All-Rounder has 135mm rear spacing, I remove the axles from the

Mine is a 59cm but with 26 wheels...which helps.

I never met a seatpost that had too much setback. My old Campy posts
