back pain is almost always one of two things

mostly

poor core strength - do plank exercises every day and that should solve your problem reasonably quickly.





sometimes

handlebar reach is too long - buy either a shorter, higher angle stem or even an adjustable one while you're trying to find a comfortable position.
