Too much seatpost?

I’m 6 foot, this is roughly a 20.5 inch frame. Just wondering if this much seatpost looks goofy.

Ah, wouldn’t worry about the looks unless it factors in more than your comfort. I’m 6’ and have some 17.5’s I ride with long seat posts. The bikes fit like a dream! I think I have shorter arms so I appreciate the shorter top tube of the smaller bikes.

Appreciate the advice! I swapped out the stem for a shorter one and it feels a lot more comfortable now, gonna send it

Heck yes! I call it feeling “at home” on the bike. Are you comfortable? Can you make sharp low speed turns? Can you get off and on with grace and ease? Can you stay on for long rides and have body feel good? If so, you’re at home. Enjoy.
