Is this about how you fit on the bike or how fit you are? I'm unsubscribing if this is going to be a thread of guys posting their bellies.

You guys want pre-ride shots of my hairy Fred belly or post ride (when it's hairy and sweaty)?

You can try but be prepared for plenty of ridicule along with an occasional nugget of wisdom.
Realize that fit is a dynamic process so it makes sense, if possible, to post a short video of you riding on rollers or a trainer, with a few positions (tops, drops, hoods).

could use a longer stem. looks very upright on the bike for being in the drops.
Also, should look forward to avoid being hit by a car.
