IDK, I can't really go much lower on my drop, and the only thing I notice is the lower I get the easier it is to go faster. I'd post one of my bikes to show my drop, but you all have seen them before. Glad you can tell the aero difference. I noticed it instantly when I first rode an SLC years ago. I was sold on the technology since then.

Haven't had a single smoke in about a month now. Maybe that's doing it.
Good job Lester. I stepped on the scale today at 149.8lbs. That is a good feeling as well. I haven't been that light since the whole concussion debacle. My fitness is really starting to come around. Problem is the season is pretty much over. I guess I'll just keep training for next year. The running with the my dog really seems to help. I'm only riding twice a week, and running 4-5 days. Went on a "hilly" group ride yesterday, and I big ringed everything. I dropped everyone on every hill, and won all the sprints.
