I have a new Cannondale SR800 that I'm still getting used to. My first "real" road bike, and I've only been at this a few months. Being almost 5 foot 7 I opted for this instead of WSD, just put a female-friendly saddle on. Now that I'm more comfortable on the bike and ready to get into the drops, uh oh, it seems my hands have to really stretch from there to reach the brakes with my fingers.

Speaking out of pure ignorance, this doesn't seem like something that could be adjusted. I'm going by LBS today or tomorrow to get them to tweak a couple of other things, but would like to hear from you ladies...

Anybody have any experience with this? What's the solution? Thanks!
