A Quick Note about Fit

Last week I went and had my bike fitted for me.  I was shocked.  Turns out that my seat was REALLY low, almost 4".  It's crazy how different my bike feels, and it's not even done.  Jason was worried when they said that they would have to order parts to move my handlebars.  He was worried that my bike was too small for me.  Turns out its not the bike, it's me.  I'm between sizes.  I would have to make a small bike feel larger or take a larger bike and make it feel smaller.  I have long legs, a short torso and short arms.  The gentleman sizing me said "thank you for giving us a challenge." I don't think he meant it sarcastically at all.  I am a challenge to size to a bike.   He also said that most people have their bike seats too low and when they are adjusted most people gain 2 to 3 MPH more.  If you're curious about your fit, go get a fitting, they are worth the money.  Or if you think you can do it yourself, there are directions online.  Your knee at the lowest part of the rotation should be at a 30 degree angle.  When I get the handle bars adjusted and can ride it complete, with no wind, I will let you know about any changes.
