@egopower Truly 2nd'd....well over sized & bar height ! - jasonlikesokinawa must have an ass thats titanium to ride a carbon saddle even with cut-out, seriously.
@egopower i have been riding for 40yrs. i have ridden across usa 3x. i have ridden across india and aussie alone once each. This idea that i need a fit specialist is comedy. i can ride all day and have a blast on a bike that is too big, if i am not trying to set a world record. in australia i rode for one week straight standing up because of saddle sores in the desert. life goes on. Do i think that frame is too big for that indivual? yes. does it matter on a normal day ? no.
You need to flip the stem, cut the steerer tube and loose the spacers... your bars are way too high! How do you like the SMP after riding it for a year?

Nice bike. I'm on my second 2005 Litespeed Seina. I sold the first one (lile an idiot) after I had a nasty wreck that layed me up for a year plus. This one is: Full Campy Record, all top end stuff .... I agree with you: Nothing lie a Litespeed! I'll never sell it!
Yes, I sometimes have issues jumping from the small ring onto the larger, especially if I am in the lowest gear. The solution is to upshift a few gears and then jump onto the big ring.
Having any rear derailleur issues? I ask because yours looks like an Ultegra RD-6600-SS (short cage), which is supposedly engineered for at most a 12-25 on the back when used with a compact crank and a largest sprocket of 27T.
Great bike. Congrats.

If that's your saddle height, the frame is too big for you, by a lot. The top of the handlebar is higher than your saddle!

@jasonlikesokinawa
Just keep twisting the knob on your shifter cable till it shifts right. You can adjust that on a roadie, right? Right??
