So I had a proper fitting this weekend, and he noted the seat post has a 20mm setback. I didn't realize this. He suggested getting a 0 setback post to get my knee more above the pedals, and that it would have the added benefit of reducing reach, but for now we just moved the saddle forward 15 until I get a new one. The 80mm stem surprisingly felt better than 70mm. The 90mm the bike came with is just a bit too long for the more upright/touring position I want to ride in. I'm going to take it for a 20 mile spin today and see how it does, then build up distance in this new position over the coming weeks. Going to go to my local bike shop and try their saddle testing program, too, because mine is 14cm, and my sit bones are 14.5cm. So ideally I think I'd want a 15cm saddle. Maybe some light at the end of the tunnel. We will see!
