fogrider,
It's the first and only road bike I have ever had. I love it, but don't have anything to compare it too. I think the LBS owner fit me by reach. I am comfortable on the bike just don't like how I got there, and don't want to repeat the "mistake" on my next bike(s)
If the reach is good...did the fitter do the best he could ST wise? If I got a bigger frame would the reach have been to long?
