New Bike Pics!

Oh! You're trying to reach the brakes in the drops! No way I can do that on any bike I own. I spend 99.9% of my time on the hoods and/or top of the bars. Even getting into the drops has been a very recent accomplishment for me. I was actually surprised how hard it was to even try for the brakes while in my drops. I wouldn't worry to much if you can't reach them in the drops. Just my 2 cents. bikerHen

Wheww! That makes me feel better - I asked my fitter if I should be able to do so and he said yes - sounds like he had me worried for nothing. Let's face it - at this point I probably won't be going anywhere NEAR the drops Getting my hands down to the shifters will be enough.

I am thinking though that if there are levers that would fit me better then I am going to let them switch them out - I don't know how much leverage I actually would have in an emergency stopping situation the way it is now.

Yeah, trying to reach the brakes in the drops was like some contortionist activity

I keep looking at the weather forecast for tomorrow morning in hopes it changes - I don't want to wait until Sunday to take my new bike out for his first real spin!
