They're actually the exact same bars and stems - both are Cannondale 3s (the new bike has newer versions with different graphics, but the length/angle/reach/drop/sweep/etc is identical). When I put the bikes next to each other and rotated the bars on the new bike to match the old, it was like I was seeing double for a moment. The component groups are slightly different - the CAAD12 has an Ultegra Di2 R8050 group, while the SSEvo has a mechanical R7020 hydraulic disc setup with the huge reservoirs - but the distance from the back of the bars to the curve in the brake hoods is identical, too.

There are occasionally advantages to being a Cannondale nut. ;) (I also have an old R500-ish model built on the 2.8 frame from the early 90s with a custom paint job, back when they were made in Pennsylvania. I know these frames have little to do with that one, even though the CAAD12 is a descendant of the the 2.8. But I inexplicably like Cannondale. There's no sane reason for it. My gravel bike is a steel Velo Orange, though, so I'm not completely nuts.)

You did make me think of something, though: I'll double check that the angle of the bars is the same. It's possible I made the new bike's angle too low by accident. That would certainly contribute to this issue.

I actually already ordered the seat post. and it's on the way. :) Given the extremely similar geometry of the two frames, I assumed I would need it when I bought the bike. I thought I might avoid it when I saw how much adjustment the saddle had, but after the first ride, I was convinced that I'm going to need the post. If nothing else, it'll give me more adjustability in the saddle position than I have now (the saddle is all the way forward, so the only adjustments available make the reach longer) and save a little weight.

As similar as the two frames are, the saddles are completely different. The CAAD12 has a Specialized Power Arc saddle that I got during the fit. The Evo has a Selle SMP Dynamic Saddle. The latter is longer than the Power Arc, so it's hard to compare the two for position. If I measure from the nose, which is what's given in my fit report, I don't get the same effective reach. I tried to use the rear of the saddle to line them up, but that obviously hasn't worked. I'm hoping the SMP saddle works for me; if not, I'll get another Power Arc saddle for the SSEvo. (I intend to keep both bikes long term.)

Oh I'm pretty sure it's a reach issue; that's where I was going with the talk of getting a new seat post. Everything else lines up almost perfectly. I didn't mention that the two bikes have an almost identical geometry, within a millimeter or two in every dimension, so it was easy to compare them.

He did have a gigantic fuck up. He fucked up the response to covid-19. Badly. And how much did his fuck up make the situation worse in the rest of the world?

74 million people still voted for him in 2020. During and immediately AFTER that fuck up.

Every time this is asked, I post the same comment. I used Kubuntu for years and liked it, but more recently they started doing things that annoyed me. The biggest was related to snaps and Firefox. Now, sandboxing a browser is probably a great idea, but I wanted to use the regular deb install, so I followed the directions to disable the snap install and used the deb. However, Ubuntu overrode that decision several times - I'd start browsing, then realize I was using a snap AGAIN. Happened a few times over a couple years. If it happened once, eh, maybe an error, but it happened 3 or 4 times. I came to the conclusion I wasn't in control of my system, Ubuntu was.

I switched to Debian and am happy with my choice.

I can't find the exact quote right now, but I saw in another article he said something like, "If they don't pay for advertisements, X will be gone. How sad!"

It seems Musk thinks he's tending another Mona Lisa or some other world cultural artifact that society would hate to lose. Not some website that's fairly easily recreated by, say, a bunch of hobbyists.

The speaker at my college graduation was convicted of fraud a few years later. I can't decide which is worse, that guy telling us what a great businessman he was, or an AI speaker.

Communist means whatever they want it to mean.

For those, like me, who don't remember the significance of the lights on the Wii remote (the console has been out of production for a decade or something now), the third light blinking means he's player 3.

"I'm a pretty tolerant individual..."

Bullshit. Bull. Shit.

Ivana said he kept a book of Hitler's speeches next to his bedside. That's pretty close.

And the way Trump was controlling the vote by endorsing candidates? The whole party is shackled to him, whether they admit it or not, and I hope the Democrats go HARD on that in the next election.

He should ask for @twitter.
