Bikes: Was Fuji and got my grails (Pro, Pro SR, Design Series, & Ti). Now I hunt 50's/60's road bikes.

My hands start feeling numb when:

--my arms are "locked"; i.e., not enough bend at the elbow
--I'm generally not relaxed in my upper body

I had this problem about a year ago and it resulted in a bit of temporary(4-5 months) of ulnar nerve damage in my left hand. I couldn't feel anything in two of my fingers. On paper, that doesn't sound too bad, but it was really irritating. After changing my posture and relaxing, as Mr. Turner said, I started to get better.
