Rosita v.1.1 - awesome!

I got Rosita home today with the new aerobars. It was brilliant!! I've got Syntace XXS with risers. Together with the spacers I've still got on the stem it's a very relaxed aero position and I looooove it.

BF came with hi bike to get me from the shop (55k) and we went back together (65k). He had trouble hanging on to me in the flats (I'll admit he'd already hammered the way there to save his reputation...)

I feel my glutes. That's balanced out by the big grin in my face. The SMP saddle also performed well, I'll swap it for one with a little more padding though.

Glad you love the position. It seems people either love it or hate it- but most will love it given time. Each season I have to recondition my neck for aero, but it's the most comfortable position ever! So much more power, and my hands never go numb.
Now we need a pic with Rosita and her new setup.

Ride no. 2.

Afterburner. That describes it best. Same effort, you just zoom along (could it be euphoria-induced performance, dunno)and I really noticed the wind on my arms when I descended in the drops (I'm not nuts). I didn't even get trouble breathing. I was a bit afraid of that.

Also I'm not swaying nearly as much as I feared, according to my bf.

Underarms are sore now from really engaging in the pads...

and I can still climb, the top position on the bar is still there (well I knew it was going to be there, or I wouldn't have installed them). Thighs sometimes brush the armpads when climbing. I got up a 15% hill with just the 27cog (used to have 29).
