I think I need to make some adjustments though... my arms get stretched out too much leading to elbow pain... are there choices in handle bars for this type of bike perhaps that offer different hand positions?
Don't know the bike, but would assume you might be able to get a shorter reach stem.
Enjoy your new addition!
