Thank you I was beginning to feel I threw a party and nobody came

No, I'm not built like Ras, I'm 5'11, 200 lbs and in my middle ages. It actually feels very comfortable on the hoods. The Drops are more a TT tuck I guess I've always been use to riding low like this as even my MTB's have long and low stems.

The fork is an Aluminum fork. I was thinking of upgrading the fork, however I think I have reached the point where further cash thrown at it doesn't make economical sense. It is an old bike, and as such I think it's pretty much done. Now I need to update and build/buy a bike from this Century

That said, I have been watching forks on ebay and around the net

I did take a Ultegra 5.2 Madone out for a test ride, and functionally, there was not a lot of quantifiable differences in ride feel that I could discern. The biggest thing I noticed was the drive train, which basically I'm almost at par with now. It certainly did feel like a different bike, however that was neither better nor worse.
