The thing I noticed tonight was that my knees were coming up to the same level as my elbows when I was riding in the drops. This didn't happen on the Bianchi. The frame is a little small for me to begin with, but is this something that I should be worried about? Most of my riding is just sprints from A to B, so it seems like it might actually be a good thing... It seemed to make a big difference heading straight into the wind...

Is it low like my LEVEL, HereNT? Sometimes it will be close due to the steep angles of the frame. It happen to be when I was a messenger. It bother me for awhile til I just made minor adjustments.

S/F,
