After much hemming and hawing, I finally broke down and got a new bike. My old bike (4.5 years old to be exact) was an Once Limited Edition Giant TCR-1 frame. Too many component changes to name, but I was running a forward seat post and seat adapter to get my brawny self into some kind of proper aero-position. Good enough to get me to Kona, but I knew it wasn’t right. For one thing, so much weight on the front wheel meant steering was totally dicey. I was also stretched out and of course, I am looking for as much free speed as possible.
So I went to see Todd Kenyon of TTBikeFit.com, a local bike guru, with my new P3C. The outcome? See the video for yourself — I went from a crappy 10cm DIY bike fit to a 15cm killer position that had me riding 22mph @ easy pace today. Man, am I stoked!
