If you see the hub in front of the handle bars you are too far forward, if you see it behind the bars, you're too far back. Just a guideline, hope this helps.
    Yes, that helps a lot, thank you!

    I rode a Giant OS3 today to get an idea of size and the XXS fit me much better than the Terry did yesterday, I didn't feel as though I was too far forward on it, although I'd have to upgrade to the OS1 to get the brakes/shifts that can be fitted to my paws. What a difference in ride from my comfort bike - wow! Even so, I'm still drooling over that Bianchi Giro!

    Until then, I will do what I can with my comfort bike - I did replace the big 'ole cushy saddle on it today, so hopefully the change will take away some of my sit bone and hip pain.

    Thanks for the advice, everyone!

    Sorry, I can't focus on this discussion because I am so distracted by how pretty your borzoi is....

    Thanks That was Spice, my first borzoi and my heart dog (dog people know what I"m talking about). She lived almost 7 years and cancer took her a year ago this month, but she's alive in my heart and I love having that picture of me wherever I go

    I have two others presently - and I think they are fabulous, but they'll never be my Princess
