Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Spot the differences between these photos

I took a pic of my bike today and compared it to the picture I took of the day I bought it 2 years ago. It was interesting to see how my geometry/position on my bike has evolved over the last couple years.

Anyone else have comparisons like this?

I noticed that;
1. The seat is moved back about 1 cm and the angle is just a tiny bit flatter.
2. The stem is lower
3. My bars are turned upwards a bit.
4. Shifters are lower to account for bar rotation.

It seems that over the two years you have also shifted into the small chainring!
