Would y'all suggest I start messing with the stem and handlebars before I reach my flexibility goals then?


The geometry may be a bit aggressive for me, but my options in 63+cm were limited.
I am new to biking and was uncomfortable with the brake location too.I put some inline brake levers on the handlebars.I use them almost exclusively.I rarely go to the drops or hood for braking.
