She did check the handlebars, yes. My assumption was correct that the previous owner had changed to more women-friendly handlebars already (salsabars). She thought they were darn close to what i needed.
She didn't actually measure my angles but did look long and hard as I did some spinning. We talked a lot about being stretched or feeling stretched since that was my initial problem.

we did NOT try different saddles. i own 6 saddles that I have purchased just this year. I KNOW that the B67 is the best one for me and I'm not going to mess around with the others any more.
I actually brought a B17 with me just in case she was going to tell me I couldn't use my beloved brooks b67, but she thought it was just great.

I also asked her if she'd tell me if the bike just didn't work for me. she said yes, and it happens!
