I don't care what it looks like. This position is nearly perfect for me when riding drops. I can hold the position indefinitely and comfortably (if not aerodynamically).
The 2 size too small Cross Check seems to fit me well. Who'd a thunk I could ride a bike with a 22.4" TT.
Fenders are a new addition, and proved their worth a week or two ago in a few rides home in the rain. (I had always sort of poo-poo'd them for Arizona.) I was astonished at how dry I was. Well worth their weight and aerodynamic deficiencies for the 95% of the time I don't need them. Basically I don't notice them at all when I don't need them (except for the occasional toe overlap during track stands), and I greatly appreciate their presence when I do need them.
I also must admit that the skinny-ish tires have been better for the most part than the large things I used to lug around. Fast, light, reasonably durable. Can still ride stairs in a pinch, but don't make a habit of it. They cut about 7 minutes off a 55 minute commute when I go long.

Yes, but that's ok.
How many inches of spacers you got, man! Whatever works, I say.
Love the blog, keep up the good works>
