Finally got back on the bike. In fact a new bike. I was able to get a Lynskey R240 titanium frame and fork for a much reduced price. Fellow bought it with the intent to build it but life got in the way. It is the perfect size for me. I was having a problem getting the crank gearing I wanted 52tx36, and one thing led to another. I was going for Ultegra 8000 groupset but I bought 8050 which is Di2 electronic shifting. This bike is amazing.
I was way out of shape when I first got it up and running. Compared to my Cannondale Alloy Synapse it is a sports car compared to a sedan. I can turn sharper and at higher speeds.
I have always done my on fitting but I gave in and had a professional fit done last Tuesday. I was interviewed, the bike measured, me measured on a table, did some walking away and towards the fitter and more. I sat on a bench to check my sit bone width-my saddle was too narrow. Saddle height and position was off. I knew fore/aft was but was surprized that the saddle had to be raised a bit better than 2 cm. Several videos were taken with cameras front and side. The fitter adjusted my cleats and at the end to straighten my leg line put orthotics in my shoes.
It took a couple of rides to get used to it, but WOW! is it a super improvement.
