No volpe yet....but he's open until 7 this evening so maybe within the next hour???? oh well....it's too darn hot to even go outside!!

I love having your observations....all of them.... it's a matter of SEEING clearly and understanding how all the parts work as a whole....

I 'm not averse to getting a fitting...I just feel SO close to fine on the bike that I want to try and monkey a bit with it (yes, lisa, s l o w l y) ...while i'm looking for someone i would want to go to.

I have become quite mindful of my posture on the bike, remembering the conversations about the pelvis as a bowl...and making myself aware of the 3 pts of contact as I ride... i really DO listen...

My leg is bent a little on the downstroke and there is no rocking of the hips...I originally fixed the height to where my straight down leg was straight with my HEEL on the pedal...and I don't think I need to lower the seat...but I'll check it again as i revisit the fore/aft.

My saddle is actually pretty much in the middle of the post...maybe a little more rail showing behind.

SO...I do want to try a ride with the bars lowered that one spacer...it puts them level with the saddle.
I examined the level of the saddle closely and I think it's tilted maybe a cm or 2 nose down...so when I lift that I could also bring it forward a bit....although I DID bring it forward a little a few weeks ago and also rotated my bar down a little
SORRY the chronology of the pictures is just wacky....

I should just look for someone to do a mini fitting....just not a 2 hour dissection.
I'll post a call out for a recommendation here in PDX.

thanks!
