Ironically my saddle has been comfortable from day #1. While I like the increased length of the stem that I had installed the other week, my back is hurting about 4 inches below my neck. I have a bit of a dowager's hump and I think the forward position is causing pulling, which is now focused on that area. I probably need to be sitting more upright than what this hybrid bike currently allows. There's no slack available in the brake cables and if I opt for a riser or even a different handlebar altogether, it's likely that new longer cables will be required. The costs are increasing on this bike. I spent an additional $45 for the new stem as the LBS said they could not resell the one that came with the bike as it is not an aftermarket product. sigh....

Okay my neck and back bother me on the Vita Comp Hybrid. The stem length is fine now. However, I need a less aggressive riding position. The issue is the brake cables are short, so any significant increase in handlebar height will require rewiring ($$$). But, I have to do something because I'm in pain and I'll not use the bike for more than a few miles if I can't get a good fit. Sigh.....
