Hi San Rensho; if I do that I'd still have to straighten my back and sit upright - is that what you mean?
I can only ride without leaning/touching the bars, sitting upright.
Let me amend that, you should be able to take your hands off the bars and ALMOST be able to ride no handed. You will tend to fall forward some, but it should be minimal.
