Critique my fit... new bike. Quote | Reply
Sweet 8lb 6oz baby Jesus, why am I doing this?

Anyways, new bike about 3 weeks ago. Position is pretty comfortable. I was in aero position for 2:15 yesterday on the trainer. A few 2.5 hour rides with no issues. Mess with a "good" thing or just leave it?

I do have a few spacers left to drop the front end and could flip the stem for further drop.

So, go ahead and shoot.

Arms could go out (forward) a bit. Elbow to knees is usually tight but you're REALLY tight there. After that, you could drop the bars down slightly but overall, pretty good.

Your front wheel block is backwards.

I think you can definitely take the spacers out w/ no issues.

Looking at your video and then looking at images of Rapp, do you think you are dialed in like Rapp?

Like another poster said, you could stand to lower the front end and increase your reach a bit.

Haha, no not even close. I would have pinked it if I knew how.

Seats a little too high....you could drop the front for sure, if you wanted to. If you drop the seat, front will definitely be high.

Other than that, looks pretty good.
