Thanks. My weight got crazy out of control after mostly giving up cycling the last couple years. I've dropped probably 35lbs and I might have another 20lbs to go before I would consider investing in getting a pro fit done. I just think it would be a waste to spend that kind of money before I start to really get into better shape.
In answer to a previous question - after dropping those spacers I took the Cervelo out on a 70 mile ride today to see how it worked for me. My quads do hit my stomach in the drops, but not on the hoods. I just really need to drop more weight, but that should be coming with increased miles per week.
I do squirm around on my saddle quite a bit and I'm sure a fitting could help that even now. I did get fitted when I bought the Cervelo, but my Cannondale is just a pretty cowboy job I did totally myself with some help of the internet. I'm sure both of them could use a fresh fit after six years.
