Yet you think that is acceptable?
I'm not sure if you're talking about the rise or the inward canter of the shifters...probably both. They look goofy but they're functional, the lower centre of the bars means that when I use clip-ons they've the same stack as the tops, and the angle of the shifters gives a more comfortable wrist angle (for me) when holding them out of the saddle, and moves my hands inboard when on the hoods. Aesthetically it is a bit jacked but I've converted a few friends by suggesting they try it -
Are you racing?
Sometimes...mostly training, stealing KOMs and sometimes showing up to club rides.
Surely your quest for aero is impacting on functionality with your saddle that far forward?
You'd think, but whatever way my body is put together, it doesn't negatively affect me, I started with a much more traditional position and gradually arrived here with improvements all the way.
Here's what my position looks like on the hoods:
And on the tops, I still end up high enough that I left the frame. My arm span is about 6'8" (but I'm only 6'2" tall) -
It's been pointed out that my setup is very similar to Adam Hanssen's, my bike isn't nearly as gorgeous as his though -
Maybe look at a Cervelo P2C
YES! I've been looking at similar TT bikes, just a bit nervous about weight, though the frame I'm on weighs about 2 kilos, so I probably shouldn't be. I found this P3 on a Slowtwitch thread and maybe I have a disease or something but I think it's gorgeous -
I love a good #internetbikefit thread.
