My new bike

[Catrin]

As the owner, and lover, of a full custom Gunnar, congratulations on your purchase!

Road bikes with drop bars do have a different riding position than flat bars, so you will likely need to focus on your body position and your core. I tried to move from flat bars to road bars, but didn't like it so all of my bikes have riser bars of some kind or another. Others here with more experience with road bars will better be able to advise, but congratulations!

A couple more iphone pics after my ride this morning:



On my back patio.



My "son" checking things out.

It was beautiful along the ocean. I solved the issue I was having yesterday with too much weight on my hands with a couple itsy bitsy saddle adjustments (amazing what 1/4 inch will do), and it's now perfect. On my FX, I was really struggling to get above 13 miles an hour, and I was barely making an effort to stay between 15 and 16 mph. I was with a friend on a very heavy commuter, so I'm not even sure how fast I could really sustain comfortably. This bike rides really smoothly. All I can say is that I'm thrilled.

I love the cat in the picture. "Mom, what is that?"
Beautiful bike.

Just beautiful! Well done on the ride and on fixing the saddle.

I have a ginger girl who looks just like your boy

Myself, I do not have a Gunnar. However, my cousin (also my friend,) has a gorgeous tangerine orange Gunnar. She loves that bike!! A very good, dependable bike. Congrats!!! I hope you love yours, too. It is so pretty!
