Yes, thank you Pedalfaster!
My new road bike position is how you described and it works so much better for me. I used to sit more on the front parts and ouch! I didn't like that...I'd much rather sit on my ischial tuberosities (my bum's sit bones) than on the front...I have noticed with the shorter top tube I can actually now have bent elbows.
Being more comfortable, I can ride longer, so I am very happy because now I can start prepping for racing again next year. It's hard to "suffer" on a bike in training and racing when you are in pain, so I am all for going to get second and third even opinions on your bike fit.
Once a bike fitter asked me, "Well, when does it hurt you?" I responded, "Only when I pedal." The bike fitter knew I needed big time help LOL.
Happy Ridin',
Lisa
