Did you get fitted out for that bicycle or purchased it youself with correct sizing from the shop?
Reason i ask is the seat seems abnormally high in adjustment to the frame.
I'm no bicycle expert (thankfully) but i always assumed the correct fit frame wise was very important for long term comfort.
Nice pics of the Dales by the way.

This is the most important - and easiest - setting on whatever frame size
Thanks for the advice chaps, i was measured up for the bike about 5 years ago when i bought it.
Made a few tweaks along the way for personal comfort,so all is good.
Partaking in a fair bit of saddle time this week.
Yesterday's pics..
Friendly fellas
Model T Ford in a showroom, don't think it's for sale..
A 1000 year old quaint English village..
More cyclists than cars in the roads at the moment,cycling is the perfect "social distancing " exercise..
These two were getting amorous. .
Hmm... Which colour? Only £220k each..

Another day,another ride out.
Starting to enjoy this "social distancing" ,it's giving the planet a well earned break also.
It actually felt like a summer's day today..
Have fun spotting the bike...
Why waste a tree stump when you can turn it into art..
Time to go check out one of the world's busiest international airports...

If you've watched the movie 28 days later then.....
I'll let the pics tell the sad story..
Wishing you all the best, wherever you are in the world.
Stay safe.

Another stupendous care free few hours of thigh and lung bursting time in the saddle on this fine Spring day.
A wizard like wizened Goat for Betty Boo,who unlike Betty Boo wouldn't pose for a photo.
However,I am happy to report his Goatee beard was considerable. .
Tyson Fury and Ricky Hatton country today..
To the East of Madchester is a Town with a lot of reputations, one of the more infamous former residents was also the biggest Serial killers and a doctor as well.
The market place was like a ...."ghost town" today..
Interesting recent story behind this football club..
A random machinary shot in memory of Fishlocker..
A Spring lamb with attitude...
Ok,three questions...
Name the town?
Name the serial killer?
What's the recent news story associated with the football club?
First correct entry received wins a Chez Chitty Pizza and an Andrex toilet roll.
Ashton Under Lyne
Harold Shipman
Hyde FC selling virtual pies
That photo of Ashton market reminded me of John Kilbride, taken from there by Myra Hindley and Ian Brady. He was about the same age as me, and at the time I had a Saturday job at Grey Mare Lane market.
Looks a canny trip, Chitty.
How far? 50 mile round trip?
Great pics and narration, Chitty. Keep 'em coming.
I used to live in Ashton. Sunday nights were like Ibiza down there.
Apart from the GMP riot vans parked at each end of the main drag.
Another day, another ghost town..
Should rotate this bad boy a few degrees and drop a shell on Old Trafford
The pyramid of the north inside a monster viaduct..
Everywhere looks good when the sun is shining..
Even Stockport County,maybe not..
Wonder when these will be called into action.
BBQ time,rude not too..
CCC
^Yum!
Nice pics, CCC! It looks so warm there compared to here.
I got my bike tuned up and all ready to take out. The highest temp here has been about 10 C which was today. I hope to get mine out very soon.
Your pics remind me of my year I spend in England (Bedford) in 2005. Is your bike a racing one?
Thanks MM,
It's nice to escape the madness for a few hours in the fresh air and sun.
Make the most of your locale and get peddling.
It's great for your health as you well know.
You posted up some great cycling pics last year and have been missed from the forum.
Ignore your fan club and leave them to fight like rats in a sack in the dog house.
It's a racing bike or road bike as they're called recently although I don't partake in much racing
Look forward to your pics in the future.
Oh and naff off Cyrille.
