Rosita v.1.1 - awesome!

I got Rosita home today with the new aerobars. It was brilliant!! I've got Syntace XXS with risers. Together with the spacers I've still got on the stem it's a very relaxed aero position and I looooove it.

BF came with hi bike to get me from the shop (55k) and we went back together (65k). He had trouble hanging on to me in the flats :D(I'll admit he'd already hammered the way there to save his reputation...;))

I feel my glutes. That's balanced out by the big grin in my face. The SMP saddle also performed well, I'll swap it for one with a little more padding though.

Glad you love the position. It seems people either love it or hate it- but most will love it given time. Each season I have to recondition my neck for aero, but it's the most comfortable position ever! So much more power, and my hands never go numb. :p
Now we need a pic with Rosita and her new setup. :D

Ride no. 2.

Afterburner. That describes it best. Same effort, you just zoom along (could it be euphoria-induced performance, dunno)and I really noticed the wind on my arms when I descended in the drops (I'm not nuts). I didn't even get trouble breathing. I was a bit afraid of that.

Also I'm not swaying nearly as much as I feared, according to my bf.

Underarms are sore now from really engaging in the pads...

and I can still climb, the top position on the bar is still there (well I knew it was going to be there, or I wouldn't have installed them). Thighs sometimes brush the armpads when climbing. I got up a 15% hill with just the 27cog (used to have 29).
