I remember when I got my fit done, they said I should invest in new bars, new saddle, new seat post.....eventually. Just because you get a fit, doesn't mean the parts needed to get in the right position come free with the fitting.
Bingo, the stock saddle was dead center on the stock seatpost. I put this specialized on and the rails are way more forward. Over the course of owning the bike I've bought new bars, stem, wheels, and saddle so it's just the next thing on the list. It's the one thing I could live without changing the longest because it won't necessarily improve anything. I do think since the green bar tape has run it's course I'm going to lower the hoods a bit now that I'm more agile and while I'm at it I'll look for a seatpost.
