so I avoid the hurt feelings....................... so far
And, I usually like the route I chose, pretty well.

Hi Bill. Thanks for the comments on my bikes, especially on the stems appearing overextended. The stems are both high quality Nitto Technomic, I think about 225mm. The racer's crouch doesn't appeal to me, too uncomfortable. The long stems allow me to better see the countryside
and if there is a headwind, I use the drops.
Take care of yourself and keep riding.
