Hey, guys, I tend to keep my arms straight, so that is a problem. It's not off road riding, but Chicago streets can be pretty rough. I assume that the Bianchi absorbs less of the impact than the heavier Larkspur, which I'm used to riding.

Today I've done the arm exercises from Snap and the Stretching book, taken Motrin, iced it for awhile, and worn a compression band for part of the day. It's feeling a lot better. Tomorrow I'll be back on the bike, and I'll notice how I hold the handlebars and my arms. Tuesday I can go in to LBS for a fit check.

Thanks for all the help! L.
