I'm back. The Jamis is a nice bike! I think you'll be happy with it for a long time.Quote:

It's a nightmare. Funnily enough, both my bikes have ended being Trek's, after testing loads of others... (only picking the road bike up from the shop on Saturday, so can't comment on what it will be like in the long run), but there appears to be something in the trek geometry that agrees with my akward proportions...
Very nice! :D
:D Thanks... I think it is enjoying my kitchen.Quote:

Looks great! You'll be on that bike soon. TE ships FAST! Enjoy and don't forget to let me know what the fitter says.
Oh I won't! I'm heading down thursday after work (yikes...traffic).Quote:

Well I had the fitting for my bike last night and I plan on taking it out for a short ride tomorrow. Surprisingly, it needed very few adjustments. The seat tube was raised a bit more. The stem was flipped over to change the angle on the handlebars. I have a new saddle which is a HUGE improvement in the right direction (Serfas TI-RS2 Stinger) but I'll know more so what I'm looking for with more riding. I also went with the base end Shimano SPD pedals for now. They are nerve wracking to say the least!
...I also learned my left leg is shorter than my right. :eek:
I have a shorter leg, too. One of my shoes has shims on the bottom, the other doesn't. Funny how we lived all this time without even knowing it until we bought a bike. :p
I sure hope you have a great time with your bike this weekend!
