Until you do it, you don't really know how you will adapt to it or how close you can get to a pro's position. I didn't. It's a learning process. You have to RIDE the bike in that position and see how it feels. And as I pointed out, I may well get lower and more radical as this evolves. If you think you're going to look like Mr. Zabriskie on your first attempt at a real TT bike, you may find it's easier on paper than in reality.
Chill Pcad; it wasn't meant as an insult. Non of us are going to look like one the best TT riders in the world. I just wanted to show the dude what an ideal, wind-tunnel-honed position looks like. Besides, you've done something Dave Z. could never handle; 100,000+ miles around NY.
