Sure, that’s all fine. I already said though that the picture was taken before I made the final adjustments. Saddle down about 10mm and bars up. I just don’t have a picture after the adjustments....

It was raising the saddle and putting a longer stem on that made the bike more comfortable. So to make it even MORE more comfortable, I should lower the saddle and put the shorter stem back on. Got...

And also, dear wizards: why do my legs feel better after changing my stem? I left my saddle the same, aside from moving it forward maybe a cm.

Edit: please accept my humble apology, o wizards....

I felt just a little too stretched in the photo but moving the saddle forward a little and the bars up a little seems to have fixed that.

In the drops, it feels ok except it makes me want to...

It’s sort of like a new sensation for me, riding a bike like I’m trying to break it. I couldn’t ride it as hard before, because it hurt my knees and back. I never really got a workout from
riding...

I’ve had other bikes, all roughly the same size. My last one was a touring bike. I messed with the stem some but never put a longer one on it. This bike rips after putting the longer stem on it. I...

Also, if this is worth anything - the front hub is just eclipsed by the bars when I’m riding and my hands are on the hoods. I’ve heard some people say this is supposed to be correct but I’m not sure...

I also don’t like to pay people to do things with their wrenches that I can do with my own wrenches. I figure if it doesn’t hurt after riding for an hour, it’s probably ok. This particular setup...

Ok, thank you. Yeah, when I moved the saddle forward and the bars up, that’s what gave me more bend in the elbows than in the pic.

If something starts to hurt, I’ll think about a fit. I was...

Is this too stretched out?

I feel like the bike looks ridiculous now but it feels pretty good. The stem is 130mm that I had in the parts bin but never used. The 100mm that was on it didn’t feel “right” so I just put this one...
