Barb,
I am also having the same issues you mentioned after just switching to a new road bike. I have been test riding a new Schwinn Fastback Comp, and have been riding a new (within a year old) Schwinn hybrid. I LOVE my hybrid, but am having a tough time adjusting to the road bike. My LBS is working with me on getting a correct fit, but I have some concerns. My hands feel like they have a lot of pressure on them. Have you had any better luck with this? I am really curious to know.
