thanks thekarens. I was wondering if that ever happened.

I did get my bike fitted because of pain, which lessened, but having learned that the top tube was too short I started to ride more upright so I wouldn't aggravate my back. But that affects speed. (The bike didn't bother me for the first 4 years I owned it because I didn't try to lean forward.)

This post has got me thinking... I initially thought I wanted a new bike to "go faster" but I think I really want a new bike that fits my current body and riding style. Which has changed a lot over the last 8 years.
