Hey there. Glad to hear you're enjoying the Cross Check. I might spring for a bike fitting just to be sure everything is adjusted well and I would perhaps consider drop bars. You might do the fitting first, ride some more and if need be get drop bars later. The only issue I see with that is that a fitting include measurements of your body angles when you are holding onto the handlebars and they may be different going from flat bars to drop bars. I had a fitting on my hybrid where they wrote down all the measurements, etc., and when I asked if those measurements could transfer over to my new Cross Check, the fitter said "No" , because with the different handlebars the angle, positions would be just too different. Good luck and keep us posted.
