My dimensions match yours. Ended up sawing a rather expensive Thomson seatpost myself. Pangs of guilt while cutting a good three inches off, but no other choice with the carbon fiber tapered seat tube. Hey, you're lightening your ride!
Tmr02 seatpost too long. Cut it?
So I just purchased a new tmr02 from ebay and I need to take off a bit of length to fit my short legs. (5'8, 30 inch inseam, 51cm frame.) I had to do the same on my previous aero bike too (bh g6).
The rest of the geometry is fine. Should I do the cut or find a different frame?
Would appreciate opinions. Thanks!

No idea what you meant to write in that sentence with "...should I not do this and find during rider to ride..."
I would totally cut it if it were a standard post. They're always way long for short legs. The fact that the post is proprietary makes be pause though.
If your choices are cut your seatpost, or buy a different frame (presumably trying to find one that will work with a longer seatpost?), I'd say the answer is pretty obvious.
Cut the seatpost.
Honestly, I'm really not even sure how that is a question (at least with those two choices for answers).

I don't have to cut anymore! I originally copied the saddle height from my old bike to the new one. However I neglected to check my fit record to see if it was correct and apparently my seatpost had slipped quite a bit.
