True. A dose of HTFU never hurt, eh?
@Quel - This fit is for a new frameset and is my initial set-up. I plan to ride it for a season or so, see how I do and then have it re-done/optimized later. I merely want to get it set up into a good starting position for now.
I did read that Slowtwitch article. Several times, actually. Picked the frame (a Planet X Stealth) based on approximating a TT position on my road bike (sitting up on the saddle and estimating where my arms would be in a tuck), and for the most part, it seems fine.
It's not so much a specific problem per se - I am just not fully certain that the solution the fitter has found for me is the best one, that's all, and was trying to see what others who have a similar build as me do, in order to understand what my other options are. So far, I have 2: 1/ Lower/wider and 2/ Superman. Will give all 3 a try and see how it goes.
