Thanks for the great info guys. I adjusted the brake/gear levers to be at the 7 o'clock position like you mentioned, it feels much more natural and comfortable, thanks for the tip. The only urban riding I do is getting to the bike paths, although things can be absolutely nuts where I live in Seoul just getting out to the bike paths.
I moved the nose of the seat up another notch and went for a 53km ride yesterday and amazingly to me I had only a very slight soreness in my wrists which lasted for an hour or so. I iced my wrists and took an advil and the pain was gone. I moved the seat up a bit too. The seat was a bit uncomfortable with the nose up more but I think it's just a matter of getting used to it. I'm just happy I could go on a long enjoyable ride. Usually my neck and shoulders get a bit sore about halfway into it but I felt great the whole time. I was bike shopping today with a friend and tried out some similar size hybrids and most of them had lower handlebars than mine and I felt like I was leaning forward onto the bars too much on most of them when I got them, I'm quite happy with how mine fits and my reach. It's amazing what a few small tweaks can do. It seemed like a lot of the people riding hybrids and mountain bikes on the trails have their wrists bent quite a bit, I was a bit surprised to see this since I know doing that destroys my hands.

Here's a link to my last ride, I was with a severely hungover friend who insisted on coming along so we didn't exactly set any speed records. Also is a pic of my bike with what I hope is the final setup Thanks again.
