I read
more than a few books and articles and finally settled on Rivendells fit methods since they allow me to be comfortable, which allows me to ride
three to four times longer than when I was all bent over. Higher bars than what "looks right" to most, results in comfort especially for older and less sporty riders. I'll bet most cyclists could use a higher bar position and I'd just about bet real racers curse their position on the bike but it is more aero so they put up with it.
