I read somewhere that one of the old pros, Hinault or one of those guys, said that on the bike your arms should feel as if you could play piano. Sounds like you nailed it, Lisa That's the one thing I've yet to get quite right on the fit of my bike. I think I'm just gonna have to go talk stems with my bike tech.

Interesting idea of shellacing your bar tape, I've not heard of that before. What does it feel like under your fingers?
