Awesome news that I wanted to share with TE ladies.
I found a new bike shop and they are wonderful. I had a bike fit done. The fitter worked his magic and now my dream bike is an actual dream to ride. This bike is FAST! I'm riding anywhere from 5-7 km faster on this bike.
Best of all no neck, shoulder, back or knee pain......Wooooo-hooooo!
I was so excited last night knowing I would be taking her out this morning, I was awake at 5am feeling like a little kid on Christmas morning. And what a thrill today's ride was. I was smiling and giggling the entire ride. After months of tears, misery and disappointment it just made this mornings ride all the sweeter. I'm still smiling, and yes I'm getting up early tomorrow and taking her out again

That's great news! Do you know what adjustment made the biggest difference, or was it a little of everything?

My new bike fitter adjusted pretty much everything. He put the original handlebars back on, changed out the stem riser, adjusted the brake hoods, and moved the seat backwards quite a lot.

However I'm really pleased with the way the bike feels now and that's the important thing.
