I purchased a nice used 2007 Fuji Finest in December. Since, I have put on 245 mi, basically all on the trainer.

I had thought by now I would be more used to the posture of a road bike. However, it is simply uncomfortable. I spend most of the ride playing with my arms, moving my hands, shaking out an uncomfortable left elbow, etc.... When I did a few rides outside, my wrists/arms/shoulders were killing me after just a mile or two.

I seem to be most comfortable in the drops, but even that is something I can't seem to do for long.

After a ride of any speed or length, my legs seem to be appropriately tired but fine. My upper body, on the other hand, will often hurt into the next day.

Is this normal? Do I just need to chill out and live with it?

Today I just wanted to spin. It was to the point of being annoying in terms of my upper body that I considered taking my road bike off the trainer and putting my Trek Pure Lowstep on. But boy do I love the different gears, etc....
