I'm not supposed to "exert" myself until it gets cleared up so that's my excuse. Saddle will be right once I can get on and do 50+ miles at a time and adjust as I go to get it where I want it.
The bars, I'm not sold on them yet either. I love them in the drops but I cannot get comfortable on the hoods. |
Got 20 on it this morning and had zero gas left in the tank. Between the antibiotics and puking all weekend, I have NO energy to go any further. Seat came down 5mm and is set, swapped bars again, still looking for the perfect set. Think I'm close but want to try 5mm shorter reach and 10mm less drop if I can find a set. I want to be able to ride comfortably in the drops AND on the hoods. The other set I couldn't get the hoods set to be comfortable at all and you look funny climbing a hill at 12 mph in the drops lol.

Thanks for the tip, just looked them up and that's definitely about the numbers I'm looking for. Now I've just gotta find them in stock in black.

It may not be a fancy new bike, but it's not without its charms, and evidently well taken care of, which is saying something.

Wait, what's different?
Edit: Although I am looking for an Easton EC90 fork that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. Would drop 300g compared to the woundup. |

I like this very much. Good combination of classic and modern components. Well done!

Funny? I'm almost always in the drops when climbing, even out of the saddle. Don't think it's that uncommon. |

I'm 5mm from slammed with a -6 stem. I "could" go lower and I ran fulling slammed for two longer rides but it caused a bit of discomfort in my neck, nothing more.
I've got a set of zipp service course sl 80 bars on now and I "think" I'm in love. |

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a91...8.jpg~original I think light gray or silver would be better in this case if you want some contrast. |

Alright, so far I've been too lazy to post anything on this thread, but decided to do it with my new bike.

Still loving that Propel above.
Might as well cross-post mine from the Other Thread: http://i.imgur.com/z81SuKM.jpg http://i.imgur.com/wLNlzxC.jpg |
I've never seen a black inc that I would give a "not" too.
Edit: to clarify, not saying yours is a not, just saying all of them are hot. |
