...the above post is completely useless without PHOTOS!!!!!

but seriously...happy days!......bike shop set ups can be abit ordinary sometimes. Mark the seatpost height with texta or pen, before you move it again, (oh you will, you will), so you can put it back to the spot you had it, in case you make it worse!. You'll get used to the close space gearings on a 'roadie'. The idea is that when you're spinning along at a comfortable gearing but could 'push' slightly more....you don't wanna make to big a jump....nothing worse than not being able to find a 'cog' that is 'right' for the given situation.....so she didn't care?....hmmm.....can I have her?....my 'kitchen monster', (yeah i know it's not a PC term) didn't care either....didn't care whether she ever spoke to me again!...but hey, it was worth it!!...she got over it & I've got the bike...happy days!
