However, if you want to trial and error it, when I first saw the pictures my initial impression is that your seat looked a little too low to me. The frame/reach also doesn't look right, too small/short almost. I would take an allen wrench with you on a ride and just adjust the seat height untill it feels right. Then adjust the saddle position (forward backward), then readjust the seat height if needs be. As someone else said, tilt your bars upwards. That just looks uncomfortable. If you think reach is a problem after that, get a used or cheapo stem that is longer and try that. If it doesn't help, you're out maybe a couple hours and 10 bucks for a stem.

But if you just can't seem to get it right yourself, see a professional - a different one than the one that fitted you the first time (kind of like a second opinion). Beware of free fittings, they may try to sell you stuff that you don't need just to make money.

I will be. I appreciate all the feedback. Interesting to hear other folks thoughts. How about someone post up a pic of themselves in what they feel is a proper and comfortable riding position?
