I have a Cannondale Quick. I fussed quite a bit to get the fit on that bike right and had problems with wrist, neck and shoulder pain, partly because I got it when I was a really new rider and had not yet adapted to biking. I ended up getting a professional fit on the bike. The fitter significantly changed the seat position, cut down my handlebars and added Ergon grips to the handlebars. The ergonomic grips that came with the Quick just were not ergonomic enough. After the fit I was much more comfortable. However, I also ended up starting to do core exercises to get my body stronger and more comfortable on a bike. The exercises were equally if not more important than making sure I had the bike set up right for me. I find that now I am stronger I can ride bikes that don't fit quite right for much longer distances than I could ride a well fitted bike before I was in decent shape.

I have both the flat bar Quick and a drop bar road bike. I love both bikes for entirely different kinds of rides.

Congratulations on being bit by the biking bug!
