Played around with it more today. Inverted albatross is too low, but I learned a few things about tilt and height that are helping. Having returned to the upright position, I dropped the stem a few inches and tilted the albas so the handlebars are almost flat, lowering the hooks.
It really is amazing how much of the new bike excitement there is in ripping apart the handlebar tape and cork grips and viewing it all as liquid again. I am excited for my next longer ride and getting to tweak. Another thing that struck me is how much more decisive I am. In the first year, any little change and I had to ride it for 70 or so miles before knowing if I liked it or not. I imagine part of that was the learning curve of sorting out the vertigo "noise" from seat and bar positions. I also imagine there is a muscle memory that tells me much faster what I like and don't like, even though I don't "remember" it myself (if that makes any sense). It is good to play with the set up now and again, even if you end up right back where you started -- you're still somewhere new, with new knowledge.
