I'd suggest getting professionally fitted, I think it would be a very enlightening process FWIW it looks like the bike is too big for you.

I have been professionally fit, the frame is fine, it's the cranks that are too long. I also prefer a shallower set of drops. It makes the fit different and harder to find a comfortable spot on it. I also suggest not commenting on someone's bike fit without riding with them.

The bike is a work in progress, as stated in the first post.

Here's my 05 Legend Ti. I just upgraded the 53/39 DA 7800 crankset to 50/34 DA 7950. I'll have a new pic of that once this summer comes around. I've ridden many a steed...this is by far my favorite.

I used to like you and your rides...lately, I've found it turning to hostile jealousy.

Another great ride

Eriksen fabricated, Hampsten design. 58 cm TT. And it runs great with Shimano

Actually, I had the fork custom painted by Spectrum Powder Works, with a paint scheme I designed. It was back when the RSL was first introduced, and Moots was using the Alpha-Q GS-40 fork. Alpha-Q had just gone under, and Moots had a couple of the GS-40 forks left. I could've gotten one of them, but wasn't a fan of the fork aesthetically, and at the time Moots had them painted a lighter silver color, which I thought was an odd match. The geometry was custom, so the frame was designated using the dimensions of the Enve fork.



I sent pics of the fork to Matt A and Jon at Moots telling them to use the color I had come up with with SPW. Not sure if that was the cause, but the newer forks for the RSLs are painted a darker color than the first gens were.

Lookin' nice, UJA!
