I finally brought my road bike in for a fit at Brookfield Bike. The owner (Sean) is a real nice guy. He spent an hour an half with me analyzing my fit and making sure the bike fit just right. And the price was very reasonable.
Aside from the fit, I wanted a new more comfortable saddle. I almost bought the same San Marco seat as Mike until I tried this Cannondale seat which I found more comfortable. I was getting a numb feeling down there from the old seat and knew I need something different. This seat has that slot down the middle to relieve the pressure. It even matches my bike.
I got a new stem to help shorten the cockpit. The old stem was 100mm and the new one is 70mm. The stem you see here in the pic is silver and temporary. They ordered a black stem for me. It will look much better than the silver. The important thing is the fit feels right and I can now more comfortably reach the hoods.
Total black and white scheme. Maybe I should break it up and go for red tape? Now if only the snow would go away I could actually go out and ride this thing.
Maybe a big brothers' ride in the Berkshires come this Spring?
