Hi,
Does anyone know the seat tube angle of an RST 511s. I can't find the info anywhere and I can't open the brochure in the brochure post.
All the best.
Peter.

It is listed as 74°, Peter.
All the best,
Dan.

Thats a very tech question Peter.why u want to know ;)

Thanks Dan.
Anto I have been considering buying a audax mk3 555 from SJS and was comparing geometry. They have one pre built for a very reasonable price. I normally cycle alone but recently I have cycled with a friend and I struggle to keep up with his super bike on my RST. Cycling alone is cheaper.....
Just looking you under stand ::)

Peter riding solo is the way to go right enough, i had a guy bending my ear this past year ::)
i also was on the audax he was on his super handbuilt road bike he was killing me on hills,but when i sold the audax to Neil my buddy lent me his spare road bike ,the difference was mega ,no more did my so called friend drop anto on hills nor flat. ;D ;D
moral of the story if you want to stay with your friends on rides buy the same bike as he's riding. ;)
im not just a pretty face ya know. ::)

I like your logic Anto. The main problem with road bikes I have is I am not very tall but my legs are long for my height, so road bikes are not built for someone with my proportions.
I will most likely stick with what I have and strip off some of the weight.

Or ride more! ;) Or ride a heavy bike and fitness will increase!
All the best,
Dan. (...who agrees with Eddy Meckyx: "Ride lots".*)

Yeah Dan is correct (when is he not gonna have to kill him) more miles.
but a change of wheels and tyres will improve your speed no end slick tyres mind.

your welcome anytime Peter ,did u get many miles in while you were here. ;)
-
Unfortunately not, when I am here I do a simple 10 mile route around the streets of Derry on a fold up bike. Not very exciting but better then nothing.
Peter

Anto,
I'm stuck doing this for two more days (pic below) and then I'm free to take a Big Day Ride again. This is why I prefer Nature and the Forest -- it all takes care of itself without human intervention. Home and garden...notsomuch.
All the best,
Dan.
