Trim - and proposal to how to measure and communicate your trim.

 

The measurements of the trim of the gear below are partly a contribution to exchange of trim data. But perhaps more important, it's a proposal concerning how to define the way to actually measure the trim.

If you click the camera icons, some pictures shall illustrate the measure methods.

 

The rider weight/height is 85 kg/180 cm, and the listing is last updated the winter 2007/08.
