Refit this week. I was looking at some of the other pictures and the top of my stroke is just UGLY. I recently switched to a 172.5 from a 175 and I raised my post a little.

I expect some lessons when I'm down in Austin/Blanco next month.

Craig Peterson at Bicycles Plus on Thursday. (Came with the bike) He said if I ever wanted to get lower or something wasn't right to come back in. All of the above for me.

Richard and another guy (???) are suppose to give good fits at Plano Cycle and Fitness. I'm going there next if I don't feel right after next Monday.

Lookin for a fit?

I wasn't picking on your fit -- just your exhaustion.

You gonna be riding when you're in town?

I know. I'm just not comfortable and I have a horrible pedal stroke.

Going to be down there the last week end (fri-sun) for my cousins wedding in October. Hoping to get some miles in and see some actual hills.

dude,

good to see you back on the bike.

one thing... have you ever thought about shaving your arms? the hair on your right arm looks kind of funky.

if having shorts that are too long makes one a bad cyclist, then ya'll need to stop cycling and go to fashion school. I'd take long bibs and incredible power anyday of the week, "Don't be this guy" puhhh-leeeze.

and besides, there is nothing worse than the guy with shorts two sizes too small hanging out everywhere in a lame attempt to "show the goods" in some sort of macho-male style....just go fast, and not much else matters.
