I added more info to my previous post with the pic.

+whatever.

So here's an update.

Yesterday I called a local fitter, who does Dartfish.

He validated my positioning, with a few tweaks in the shoes, seatpost and saddle height.

BUT he also confirmed that I needed to reduce my handlebar reach by 3cm. I left with a 3T Ergonova. I didnt have that round egg feeling that I thought, so my apologies to the person(s) who recommended it to me.

BUT what was more bedazzling, was that I went from a handlebar width of 44cm down to a 40cm! I had a lot of trouble believing it. He reassured me that even with a 40, my arms were still slightly open.

So thanks again for all of your input.

EDIT: Just to clarify, I went to the fitter's this morning.

ergonovas seem to have a long ramp because the ramp is designed to go down to the hood, not straight out.

Hmmm, I suppose narrower bars might slightly extend your reach what with that whole a^2+b^2=c^2 business or whatever. I really don't want to think about high school math any more than I have to.

I'm not sure I entirely follow you, but the net result is that for similarly placed hoods, the Ergonova will have more reach to the hoods and drops than the FSA Omega Compact. Properly fit, this is not a big deal at all. My main point was that this fact is not borne out by looking at the advertised specs of each bar.

it moves the hoods closer without moving them backward.
