I might try that. When I asked about those kinds of posts he didn't seem to think it would make enough difference to help me, but I'm not sure why they wouldn't.

Obviously I can't look at you on your bike, but the problem you are reporting suggests that you are pushing yourself back to establish the correct KOP, but the best way to do that is with a seatpost with more set-back. If you are doing it only to lengthen your reach to not feel bunched up, then I think a longer and/or lower stem would help. But its hard to fit someone over the internet without looking at them. Maybe you should try a different fitter. What he says just doesn't make sense, if you are reporting it correctly. I just worry that this person was soley out to sell you a new bike.

Pooks, you mentioned the different shifters -- I LOVE my new shifters! The Comfort-Beast has handlebar twisty shifters, and they weren't awful, but the new little lever gizmos on my new bike, oh boy, they're nice! push the little lever for a smaller cog, the big lever for a bigger cog -- couldn't be more intuitive, and talk about smooth! (and then just squeeze 'em toward the bars for stop...)
