Yeah my bike is probably too small, I'm starting to think. I want a longer distance from seat to handlebars, and I want drop bars. I'm going to have the bike shop fit me on a Trek with drop bars in March, and then order a Trek Portland to match; I'm sure they charge for fitting, but I'll have them waive the charge (look, I'm going to put down a 100% deposit on a brand new $1700 bicycle to be ordered; you are going to fit me properly and you're not charging me for the fitting, end of story).

I see people staying down in the drops all the time, when going slow around 10mph ... they're working hard. Nutjobs. I want drops because I can't stay up when going 30mph ... it's too hard; once I break 22 and want to accelerate fast down a hill, or break 15 and want to accelerate or maintain on level ground, I need to go down. With my flat bars, it's awkward; drop bars for me.
