I finally got my upright bars and friction shifters switched out for drop bars and downtube shifters, and my saddle raised to the correct height. The mechanic was great, and I know that this is the best thing for my bike, EXCEPT I can't ride! Well, I can, but it's a pretty hilarious. Anyone have a giant, flat parking lot for me to totter around in for a few hours while I get used to leaning over and not swerving into traffic every time I shift?
