Heh. Yeah, funny thing is I already didn't have tons of drop. I'm at just over 5 cm now. But with the saddle forward and bars up a bit, my hip angle should be opened up a fair amount. It was very tight before.

UCI rules, I think; unless I'm mistaken, the 5cm rule applies to road bikes as well as TT bikes. Fortunately, these rules do not apply to me, and of course I would qualify for an anatomical exception, because I'm short. But it's really a non-issue.
