I like that he raised your saddle a whole inch and tipped your handlebars back down so the the top ramps were level with the ground. The before pic looks like you had your saddle all the way back already.
Wonderful that you feel more power now. The changes must have gotten your center of gravity set further back. Yay!

Well I'm a bit late as I read through this I see you had your bike fit already.
Good for you!
I was going to comment on this original thought of yours elk:
I would have said yes it's a reasonable vision! I hope it came true for you.I have this vision of coming away with a fit that allows me to float on my bike like i can when I'm coasting.... Is that reasonable?
I had a bike fit when I ordered my Serotta it comes with the deal and I was really happy I got it!!
Once my bike was all built another "fit" to tweek the bike and what a sweet ride she is!

Yummy bikes!
I also had my first ever bike fit when I bought my Madone a week ago. When it is built (should be ready for pickup on Wednesday!!!), there will also be another fit to fine tune (like bikerchic). I won't know how beneficial the fittings are until I ride the bike, but based on what I've read here, I'm feeling very positive!Trying to be the person my dogs think I am.

portugese water dogs??? luvmypwds?
i think if you are at all serious and /or sensitive a fit is the way to go...
it kinda blows my mind to look at what he did...i never would've thought to make the adjustments he made..to put it all together like that....
i just wish i didn't have this damn awful headache (tension/allergy...one of my papillons is really sick and no one knows yet why) so i could go out and ride in this gloomy weather....
bikerchic...thanks for the "yes you can float" ;-)
and LIsa for convincing me to trade the S Brooks for the regular one to GET that length of rail.
My bike is the right size re reach...and as small as I should go re height.Last edited by elk; 09-01-2008 at 01:16 PM.

Yeah, I think it is. Now if my knee/hip did not act up after floating along for 190K I'd be happy.I would have said yes it's a reasonable vision! I hope it came true for you.I have this vision of coming away with a fit that allows me to float on my bike like i can when I'm coasting.... Is that reasonable?It's a little secret you didn't know about us women. We're all closet Visigoths.
