Not bad at all... as long as I'll be able to sell it for what I paid for it!
But then again, he who dies with the most bikes wins, right?
I could accomplish something similar at a demo day, but I can't imagine one day of riding could possibly be long enough to learn anything truly useful.
The more I think about this, the more I think I might learn from a good bike fitting... I know there's lots of good fitters in Boston... So I guess I should just pick one, any one, in a 58cm frame size and take it to a good fitter?

Hmm, I've thought about this. Just use it diligently and try to keep working to get my average cadence higher?
