Jamie :D

Nice ride.

to beat the rest of the folks to it....

dork disk

take photos only in the big/little combo

align the crank arms with the seat tube or chain stay

spin the wheels so the valves are hidden by the seat stay/chain stay and forks

looks like the nose of the saddle is pointed a little high


but... NICE ride.

(triple.. in Ohio? do they have hills there? :P)

Have fun and enjoy...

Looks great, when will I be seeing it at a race? For that matter, when do you think you will be healed up enough from your crash to get back to training?

I have some tweeking to do, mainly the seat, I expect my doc to give me a full release. After being off for 5+ weeks I can tell that I have not been riding - I dont sleep as well. I will be racing as soon as I can and I know its going hurt some for awhile. The leg is looking much beter and itching like crazy.

Jamie :D

nah, that saddle tilt looks fine. The Specialized BG saddles raise up in the front, it's just what they do. Seriously, though (folks) the looks of it doesn't matter -- Jamie how does it feel?

D'ohh .......:p

I'm just starting my second year of riding and am still out of shape and over weight, so what hills I do have are like mountains to me. Before the crash I was planning on driving to more hilly areas LOL of Ohio ( Cinncy, Athens & Mansfield ,) areas for some serious climbing - for Ohio.

The tilt looks exagerated against the car, I will probably bring the nose down just a bit. My first 50 mile ride will let me know.

Jamie

That is a disturbingly small frame.

The bike is trying to sheild itself from 28 degree temps. and 20 mph wind, did I mention snow flurries.

Jamie :D

i bet you got that line all of the time from girls, when you were in college.

What size is that frame?

52 .... I'm only 5'5" maybe 5'6" on a good day

Jamie

I'm 5'6.5" and I would have gone with the 49cm, personally. The head tube on that frame would be too long for me, even without the huge spacers on top of it. That and I like a 110mm stem.

After adjusting the seat last night, I went for a ride this morning. Nothing special, more like the bike and I getting to know one another and we teamed up for 22+ miles before my toes got cold.

This thing is a Sweet ride and so responsive. I like the bike. I dont have the abilitiy to take it to the limit. Never was off the big ring and "climbed" our "hills" faster than before at a moderate effort.

Life is good..... ;)

Jamie :D

Rock on! Even better than looking good (which it definitely does) is feeling good.
