Subject: RE: How's my fit??? First Tri bikeI'm a complete amateur, so take this with many grains of salt. I've been reading a lot about fit, and it looks like possibly you are slightly stretched out. My real comment, however, is that what constitutes 'perfect fit' for you right now might not be what does in a year or two. Everything I've read -- and my limited experience confirms it -- suggests that you should start with a less aggressive fit and progress to a more aggressive fit as you get used to it. After lots of testing, pictures, measuring, etc., I got my bike into what seemed, from everything I read (mostly about the FIST system), a 'picture perfect' fit, and it was just too aggressive -- I couldn't stay in aero for more than about 5 miles. So I dialed it back a few notches, and I'm now in the (what looks to be long, slow) process of working back.
