Did an 80 miler yesterday to see how the new fit worked over a longish ride. Being more over the bars and forward on my seat allowed me much more comfort. Even with traffic slowdowns and stops the average was just a tad under 22 mph for an LSD style ride over 80 miles. I am quite pleased with the results, Thanks Tom. more detailed pictures (stolen from Tom's site) are available here... http://michiganoutlaws.com/
Now for the other posts concerning my fit with Rich Ducar at Bicycle Sports. I hope my posts did not come off as bashing Rich, if they did it certainly was not my plan. Rich did fine with what he had to work with (my back) but once I got straight a friend of mine planned a trip to see Tom. I figured i would tag along and get fit again since everything concerning my back had fallen back into place. To be honest, if I had to do everything all over again, my first and second visits would of been with Tom. I believe the style of fit he does is more along the lines of what my goals are, comfortable IM distance racing.
I am certainly no expert on this subject. Tom did a great job, I felt great on the bike. Strong and comfortable, no complaints at all.
