I've been riding for about a year, never had any problems (and yes, I ride a road bike). I didn't have problems until I went and got fit.

I've been back to the fitter three times, the most recent time being a few days ago. All he said was that he was stumped, and didn't know what to tell me. Like I mentioned, he had dropped me to a smaller width bar, and I went up one size and was still having issues...so I went up yet another size and will try that out this afternoon. I noticed that if I rode with my hands on the extreme outside of the hoods that I didn't have the neck pain, so hopefully widening the bars will be the solution.

Changing the seat position (up/down) wouldn't affect my neck, would it?
