After 20+ years away this is my new ride. Ultegra and Dura-Ace...very light and stiff! Can't wait to take her out!

Either:
A. Short legs, very long torso?
B. Back after 20 years - time trial position?
C. A French Cannondale and fit accordingly?
D. A first bike back, likely to be changed within 1 season if the sport sticks.
E. Has yet to learn the position in which to Spin?
F. Prefers a possible nut buster standover?
G. If none of the above, likely the sport won't stick

The R1000 was a top model - what a way to come back!
Welcome to BikeForums..
Don't let the fit comments come across as harsh. Getting a good fit for the way you roll is important.

I haven't made final adjustments yet, this is just a basic assembly so far. My seat height might not end up where some of you want it but it'll be where is ought to be

Just took her out for a thirty mile ride and she is fabulous! Very responsive and eager to go! Shifts are crisp, handling is precise. I can't wait until I'm fit enough to go for some serious rides! I don't think it'll be long. On a side note, the bike paths in central Iowa are an amazing asset to this community. Miles and miles of great quality trails to ride with such nice and considerate people!
