Thanks for the feedback!

I will do the plumb bob test again -- I thought we had done it, but perhaps we skipped it as I was so excited to ride a road bike again this spring when we got back from Belize. I have long femurs and usually need my saddle back quite a bit, but if it is too far back, that would indeed bring me closer to the bars.

I am not crazy about the idea of rotating my bars as I do like using my drops when descending, and I like them to be pretty level. I am not crazy about how they angle with the bars rotated, though I know it is "fashionable" now -- I'm kinda old school that way.

And yes, I did fracture my pelvis in my 40s and I'm also no spring chicken at 52, so I don't know that I am going to be able to change the way I sit on a bike or where I 'hinge'. I'd rather dial the bike in to my own particular physiology.

I definitely don't have my elbows locked when I ride this bike, but probably not enough of a bend in them either.

Thank you again for looking!
