Took her out for the first real ride, our local shop ride that I'm very familiar with. I felt comfortable but also felt like I didn't quite have the punch that I'm used to. It felt labored at times. It could have been that it was 40F but I didn't feel all that cold. Some of the guys said it's because the geometry is different but if my hands, butt, and feet are all in the same place how could the geo makes that much difference? Is there something I can do fit-wise to simulate the more traditional geo of the Cannondale six13 that I'm used to?
1. nice looking bike
2. use a datum to recreate your fit from your old bike to your new exactly (centre of the BB is a good one)
3. maybe you just sucked that day, or you suck in general
