Yeah, they jammed this funky torture device up between my legs to check my standover height but I really didn't push any further since it felt pretty good when I test rode it and I know the basics of saddle position, knee position etc...  BUT, after putting a few consistent miles on it I started noticing some things... mostly upper body issues. 

I didn't know that the hoods could be adjusted so I'll inquire about that.  I'm having a little trouble hitting the brakes when on the hoods too but can't they shim and adjust those?

I stopped by today and ordered an adjustable stem.  I'm sure the more upright position will eleviate some of the issues I'm having...strain on my elbows and shoulders, sore neck.

I know it all "stems" from my gut and being out of shape.  As the gut starts disappearing I know it'll be more comfortable.  By the end of the summer I'm aiming to be able to ride on the drops yelling "WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" as I'm going down the road.  :)

Thanks for the input!!
