So today I cut the seat supports off 1.5 inches and reset the seat and handle bars ( reversed the steam )
and I have the seat back to 40 deg. I can get more if I move the seat bracket up to near the top of the seat .
but I will wait until I ride it and see if this mode made that much of a difference.
on a different issue the wheel bearings are kind of rough feeling when held by the axle ( something else to work on or change the wheels )
Also I changed the chain ring to 48 tooth the other day .
I can put on a 42 tooth instead or put on a double crank set that I have .
Just need a 20 spline bottom bracket tool to change it out to the FSA crank set

Thanks Jay

Something else you might consider is to rotate the seat mounting plate 180 degrees, and set the seat as far rear-ward as possible. You will get a tiny bit more nose-up, but much more cockpit room, lower seating position, and higher bottom bracket.

May need to cut a little more of the brace or move the mount higher on the seat back to get the proper recline though.
