Im old. Im grey. I never was flexible, have chronic back-ache, and still thought I could get away with a bike position like Francesco Moser with a 14cm stem thats almost 10% of my overall height. Nuts, right? After a Retul bike fit at Cadence Cycling Performance Centre and then a bike build from Doctor D, Ive switched away from my career-long Cinelli 64s / 3T TdF / Deda Newton Shallow / ITM 260 shape - aesthetically perfect - and onto visually challenging Deda RHM02s. So, how do they measure up? This is the best page Ive seen that explains the differences and the current trend for shallower bars with shorter reach. Am I turning into a Sportive Rider ... a MAMIL? Noooo! ruedatropical/2009/03/road-drop-bar-geometry/
