Based on your description, Michael, my knee is exactly aligned with the end of
the bar. I use bar end shifters, however, so those break the imaginary plane.
This position is wonderful for me and at this height stem/bar, I'm thinking
some more extension may work even better. I have an effective
If one ran a string from one of the Alba bar ends to the other, the closest
approach of my knee would be slightly below and behind that string. My
knees are within strike range of the silver shifter when it is 45 degrees
below the horizontal. For reference, I ride a 52 cm Sam with an 11 cm

sorry... hopefully I will not be banished
No... never thought to look for/at that. I just did a tester and my best
