    Fallout from the bike fit

    Tourist position or not, I want my old fit back.

    well not quite but - I'm not happy - I rode a mere 1 round (60K) of the lake tonite, not the 3 I did with only minor discomfort a week before the fit.

    The main reason I went to get fit is because of some knee and hip pain. I do think that part is better but here's the downside.

    Lowered handlebars - neck pain. I'm sitting here neck wrapped in a scarf and hot cream on it to make it better (ok - it was cold tonight and I also might have got too much draft).
    Hands not even numb - yet - but actually the nerves in my palms got acutely pinched with some moves I did on the bars.

    Saddle moved about 1.5 inches forward - even the SMP is not really comfy anymore.

    Plus it now rides squirelly especially in aero.
    Of course the guy intended to give me a raceable fit but I think I have to revert.

    It's a little secret you didn't know about us women. We're all closet Visigoths.
