Hi cyclists!
I did finally get an expert fit. It seemed pretty good and included getting on and off the bike a bunch of times while it was on the trainer, pedaling fast, pedaling slow, standing up, sitting down, hands on the hoods and drops, measurements in all different positions, stop with my feet here, stop with my feet there... he used a measuring tape and a weight on a string thing, and finally a road test. He seemed like he knew what he was doing. At least I hope he did.
The changes he made were... lowering the seatpost, moving the saddle back, initially he tilted the handlebars up but ended up switching out the stem for a shorter one that also had a more of an upwards angle.
So we'll see. I haven't been on a lengthy ride since the fitting. I'll post how it feels when I do. I'm getting a little more used to the road bike. I still don't like it near as much as my mountain bike... don't know if I ever will.
