I'm confused.
What is the actual problem you are having on the gravel bike that you think is fit related?
Sorry if I wasn't clear.
Had a proper fitting on the road bike, 6-8 months ago, it's perfect.
Bought the gravel bike a month ago from another store, sat on the bike and had a brief fitting. I had mentioned I felt more upright, etc., he said that's expected on a gravel bike, etc. We agreed to wait and see. I've since ridden the bike a bunch and feel a minor twinge at base of my neck and shoulders. I then take detailed measurements and what I noted above was different. I can wait and see, but it's February and I'm still riding this bike quite a bit and it will be some time before I'm on gravel due to weather. I'm questioning my original decision (sales persons recommendation) to wait and see...wondering if I should make some adjustments.
P.S. to be honest, I hate posting questions in forums (how much do I write, how little, will it make sense, I know what I want to say but I start typing and it's not exactly what's in my head, or perhaps I'm still confused so what's in my head isn't clear...), sometimes I post a question and one person nails the answer, another has no idea what I'm talking about. No one's fault, it's not the ideal setting IMO. Thanks though and I appreciate you taking the time to read and respond.
