Worried about my new bike - need reassurance

[OakLeaf]

I'll start to worry if I made the right purchase. It's really the bars that concern me. I can't seem to find just the right spot.

Bars don't have to be super expensive. If it turns out you'll do better with different handlebars, any good fitter should be able to find at least one workable example in whatever price range works for you.

A professional fitting is good because someone will be able to tell if perhaps the bars are the wrong size or maybe your stem is just too long/short or the wrong angle. Regardless, give yourself time to get used to the new position. If you ride with someone else, ask them to watch your neck and shoulders. Are they tensing up when you ride? Good luck!
