Always hard to tell from a still picture, but something looks wacky with this fit. It looks like you could slide the saddle forward a bit (it's WAAAAAAY back right now), get a 1-2cm longer stem (is that an 80? a 90?) And drop some spacers and get a little bit more powerful/use some more muscle groups. If you're that far behind the saddle your hamstrings must scream after a ride of any length.

It's the picture that makes it funny, the wheel is turned a little to the left. However, I will move somethings around and see how that works out on my nest ride. I really like the seat back further as it keeps the weight off of my wrists, I am short legs, long torso.
