yep thats it! i made a new thread with pics of my build so you can go check it out and comment there.

as far as this thread goes i raised the stem and tilted the drops some more and it seems alot better. arms not hitting. i think i might still look into new bars soon tought. thanks for all the help and sugestions.

cinelli criteriums (65 is the model number) were designed to address just this problem, although you'll have to buy a Cinelli stem to match them.

Buy a $20 pair of aero levers and be done with it.
