"My predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved;I have been given much and I have given something in return...Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and an adventure." O. Sacks

Congratulations Kelly!
I know how hard it is to go from clueless to clipless...
Sounds like you did a great job teasing through it all
Ride her in good health!

I'll get some pictures of beautiful soon, once I find the connector cable for my camera. Now I need to get some MUCH warmer clothes (rode a mile and had to stop because I was so cold) and decide between spd or frogs.

I just had to go to the Jamis website and take a peek! Very nice, although I still want to see pics of the actual bike.
The geometry of your bike is almost the same as my Surly! 525 top tube. How long of a stem will you have on it? It's good to have my measurements verified. It's not often I get to read the adventures of another long legged, short armed rider. Why did you not go with the femme version? Was the top tube at 515 too short for eventual racing or just too cramped? I want the details of what they said. I'm having a virtual fitting through you!lol
I saw that you had to wear petite tops for short arms, and regular pants. I always had to purchase "tall" pants when 30" inseams were the norm, and petite tops. I wondered what tall women wore, and then when I started riding and trying to get correctly fitting bikes, I realized that we are actually not the norm. Your running attire cracked me up.Last edited by uforgot; 01-12-2009 at 08:32 PM.

Uforgot- I am going in for my full bike fitting in 2 weeks and I'll give you a thorough report! The bike in my non-cycling educated brain is still a bit big reach wise, but a lot of adjustments still need to be made.
Apparently I'm not as disproportionate as I thought.
