Glad you at least gave it a try, Catrin. I am still loving the Jamis you sold me, so that, at least, was a win-win!

You've probably answered this before, so please forgive me if I am being forgetful, but have you considered a recumbent? If the issues you are dealing with are primarily/all upper body, that might make a huge difference.

It's great that there are many other activities you can still do and enjoy, but I know many cyclists who have switched to recumbents (either trikes or 2-wheels) and have been able to continue cycling despite chronic injuries.
