Seat tube angle RST 511s

[phopwood]

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

anto.

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

That's the best quote I've heard in a long time.

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.
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.

All the best,

Dan. (...who only has to ride that little bit faster than the guy behind)
