All you have to do is cut the mast down to about 1 1/2" above the top tube, cut a slit in the back of the seat tube, put a 34.9 seat post clamp on and insert a 31.6 seat post and you are back on the bike. We had heard all the complaints about cutting a carbon frame such as: What do I do I cut it to low? What do I do if I want to sell my frame to somebody taller than me? We fixed all those problems with one solution! If the mast is cut to short the solution is to just cut it shorter. We held a lot of internal discussion regarding the integrated seat mast. Yes, if you look closely that is a SRAM XX groupo with Reynolds Carbon wheels! Changes to the frame include an integrated seat mast and extra clearance for the rear tire. We wish the best of luck to everyone attending an event around the country. Also, our good friend Jay Doub will be manning the grill, so come hungry! This is always a great day and we are once again looking forward to it this year! The Children’s Home is located at 1001 Reynolda Road, Winston-Salem, 27104."
