mkadam68 - Soreness just in the palms, nowhere else. When I ride on the road, I have to force myself to have a very slight bend in the elbows because it's more comfortable to sit upright and lock them. Yes, since I'm new, I'm posting the video to determine if I just need to get my body adjusted to riding, or if the pain is due to something more obvious like a bike fit issue.

rangerdavid - I bought the bike from my LBS. The fitting consisted of me test riding the bike and then getting on a trainer. They did the string over the knee thing, but it was a kid, about 18 or 20 years old, who fitted me. He said he was a sponsored cat 1/2 racer but I guess I would have been more comfortable if one of the older, more experienced guys would have fitted me.

rollin & jwible - I know I have a weak core, so I'm wondering if that's why I put so much weight on my hands. While riding, I can't hover my hands over the bars... I do have the sensation that I'm falling/leaning if I try to take my hands off the bars. Again, not sure if this is a condition of me being a new rider with a weak core or if it's a bike fit issue.
