As goofy as it looks, I think you are doing it right. You are smart in valuing comfort over looks. As your wife gets more accustomed to riding and gains some flexibility, she'll be able to ride in a more aggressive position. But then again, if she doesn't ever get mor bent, so what? At least she's riding!

My Wife's "new" 1997 Litespeed Natchez with a modern twist
So I found a really good deal locally for a complete 1997 53cm Litespeed Natchez bike. I stripped it down, sold the old components and rebuilt it up with some lightly used black Shimano 105s, new components, and all new decals. This was for my wife and it is her first road bike, so I spiced it up a bit with colors (she loves blue) and brought out a bit more of the native Litespeed, put some cross brakes to transition from a hybrid, and did a set-up that's more relaxing, so take it easy on the non-racer compliant settings for now. |

Litespeed Classic in Co Cyclist Team Issue paint (center) -- no close ups handy on photobucket --- this looks like a pic taken in the aftermath of a garage clean up operation as its rare for bikes and motorcycles to be outside at the same time ---LOL, just noticed the front wheels on the track and road bike are flip flopped-- dont know what the motivation was there -- maybe to spread fear at my local TT, IDK

From this past summer:
A Discrete rendezvous in a hotel room in Verona, Italy. Of course we then proceeded to go up and down some killer mountains together the following morning but only after the double espresso and pastries! http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps317ab367.jpg |
I still love that bike ^^^^
