I got a new bike!

[Triskeliongirl]

So, I started a thread in the bike section as I was investigating a purchase but I think many of you may have missed it. Bottom line is I am the proud owner of a new Cervelo RS w full Dura-Ace build (except my custom crank of course). My local dealer made me an amazing 2008 closeout deal, and the XS 48 cm w 650 c wheels fits me like a dream. (I attached a low res pic from my camera phone, as my kids borrowed my camera). She is the most amazing bike I have ever ridden! Climbs like a dream.

But here is my quandry. The guy who sold it to me, and seems really knowledgable thinks the reach is too long and wants to order me a short reach bar. The reach is 1.4 cm longer than on my current bike, but I rode her today and my body feels amazing and she handles perfectly, so I am a little worried that a short reach bar will mess that all up. Should I listen to my body, or the bike fitter?

Right now she just has the stock stem and bars (9 cm stem, FSA gossamer bar w 9 cm reach). With that being said, I don't like how the drops feel so I am going to be in the market for a new bar. But which one?? I want something w smooth drops but that is really flat on top. Or is he right and the drops feel bad cuz I am too stretched out? I go on a longer ride tomorrow morning, so maybe that will give me more insight.
