Oh Elk, that second picture......
I'm very happy that you were able to take a short voyage on your new bike. Sorry she put you back to bed, though.Hopefully you're on the tail end of the cold and you'll be back outside in no time. But don't push it, ok?

I snuck a wee spin yesterday and it flattened me...I had to go back to bed!!
(After learning I need a longer seatpost...
)
I will LOVE it though, I can tell...it felt so SOLID and how do I say this?....quiet. Like it knew exactly what it was doing...Quiet as in all the parts integrate perfectly....good build I guess, hung on steel...solid.
I'm HOPING I can get out to the handmade bike show for a LITTLE while...and maybe down the LBS to have them swap seatposts...
If you look at my seatpost (see below pic#2) and the one in the picture that Lisa sent of the loaded JA tourer (Pic #1)you can see she has hers way higher...and mine is already at the go-no-further-line.Last edited by elk; 11-11-2007 at 10:06 AM. Reason: yeah I know...its the wrong side..

Yes Elk, I see what you mean about comparing the photos of seatposts- clever of you to see that!
Your bike is just so beautiful. You, know, I kind of like the black bar tape and then the brown saddle. You could leave it just the way it is and it is gorgeous.
Feel better soon!

I'm certainly no expert, but it looks great to me. The bike is beautiful and you certainly look like you are enjoying yourself. If you feel comfortable, that's the most important thing!
Great picture! Thanks for sharing."Chisel praise in stone; write criticism in sand."

You look comfortable- do you feel comfortable?
Two things-
Do you feel like your weight is nicely centered and not falling forward?
And do you have any aches or like numb hands or sore neck, etc?
Do you feel like you can get power behind your legs when pedaling?
Your riding posture looks very much like mine when I have my hands on my hoods too.
If all is well....then just enjoy!
Nice duds!!!
