Awesome. That answered my question. After 35 miles I was praying for it to end and cursing the trees for putting their roots on the path.

thanks!

I have a 2006 poprad. They are a bit longer than usual. I have a 57cm. According to trek it measures 578mm: http://www.vintage-trek.com/Trek-Fisher-Klein-Lemond/2004specmanualLemond.pdf
It fits me great. I would assume the geometry didnt change over the years.

he actually replied with his exact address, which happened to be across the street from the Alexandria Spokes Etc and right down the street from me. Someone got a steal. Oh well. Next time!

well… he told me he’d be available from 5-7:30 today. I told him I’d be there at 5 on the dot. he emailed me at 4:50 and said it was sold. I wanted those wheels…

I just put Salsa Cowbell 2 bars on one of my bikes and love them. They flare out slightly so they give a few different hand positions. I also love the compactness of them. And they’re only $45.

I recently purchased a 2004 Poprad in a 57cm, when I should have gone with a 55cm due to the different geometry of the Lemonds. It had a 120mm stem on it stock, which stretched me out far too much. My road bike is a true 58cm with a 100mm stem and fits me perfectly. I swapped the stem with a 110mm I had laying around, and while it felt better, I still felt too stretched. So I bought a 90mm stem and the bike fits me perfectly now. I say you buy a 100mm stem and see how it works. They’re fairly cheap and easy to install, and help when you have a few laying around if you end up with a stockade of bikes.

I guessed on the 90mm size by just placing my hands in a comfortable position on my handle bars, and then roughly measuring the distance from my hands to the hoods to see how much I needed to remove with a shorter stem. It worked pretty well for me.

I happened to be recording during my first fall. The angle and noise are bad, but atleast the fall was graceful!

I also happened to be recording during one of those falls.. http://youtu.be/i5arU_SsJr0?t=3m9s
It was quite graceful if I say so myself!

I completed the 40 on my cross as well and the roots a rocks towards the end rubbed my palms pretty raw. I also fell a good 5 times due to stubbornness and not wanting to pick my bike up over obstacles.
