+1 on the "you need to be reasonably fit" statement by KoYak. When I was much heavier I rode with a much higher bar set up. I also watched a "much heavier" rider in a race a while back:

Interesting link. Thanks for posting it, and for the kind words. Somewhat different from the author, I wouldn't say that the improved position feels "hunched over," though. I would describe it more as "bending from the hips," as opposed to "hunching over," but that may just be me.
