    Cool V!!
    Glad to hear your fit went well. I had the same issue when going into the drops when I had my fit. I had no idea I was just reaching with my arms and back until they mentioned it.

    Let us know how the longer rides go for you with the new fit.

    Interesting reading about your bike fit. It sounds like he uses an approach similar approach to my most recent fitter, which was very different from the first time I had a fitting. I am going in today to finish up (brakes weren't connected on new bars so I couldn't ride it during the fitting session) and will post my thoughts on it (and the differences between it and my previous fitting).

    Madscot, my fittings were $150 (each), plus $35 for cleat adjustment the first time.
