Jags, don't know if you are still selling your Audax, I might be interested but need a few more details. Could you send me a PM if you read this.
Regards,
Neil.

Hiya,

Hmm...that would fit me :P

I used this for bikefit:
http://www.competitivecyclist.com/Store/catalog/fitCalculatorBike.jsp get somebody to measure you? :)

But one thing I have noticed is that the saddle setback is a bit tricky.

I cycle my XTC with a 6 cm stem on a 55.5 cm VT with an inline seatpost as the angles are so slack. But on my track frame I need a setback seatpost (steep angles cos...track) If you feel "pitched forward" on a normal seatpost you do need a setback perhaps. I would experiment with this before you commit to an expensive carbon stem. There's lot of cheap n cheerful used stems/seatposts.
Pedal to the metal! Wind, rain, hills, braking power permitting ;)
