    That's awesome! You should have a very slight bend to your knee when your leg is full extended - have your foot flat and ankle not pointed...

    as for whether your seat needs to go backwards or forward, I'll let someone else tell you how you're supposed to know what's the right spot - something about dropping a line from your knee to the pedal. (Someone on here has posted it on 80 million threads) I usually find that when I'm riding, I shift my butt to the right spot... if I find that I'm keeping my butt to the back of the seat or going off the end, it usually means, okay, the seat needs to be push backed. But I almost always have my seat all the way back on a setback seatpost because i like a slack seattube angle. I think lemonds are supposed to have slack seattubes in general.

    The shifters look like they're in a much more natural position now - can you use the drops now?

    The drops feel GREAT now. Thanks!

    I was scooting back a bit, so I went ahead and moved my seat back a little - I'll find out tomorrow if it works.
