Hey gang,

I commute 28 miles round trip 3 days a week and have started to experience some pain in my sternum. The pain is constant and not just while riding. It almost feels like Ive been punched in the chest and have a bruise. Ive tried searching for some possible reasons for this pain with little success.

I'm trying to figure out if it could possibly be an issue with the way my bike is set up. If something like handle bar reach, width, height, etc could be contributing to the pain.

A little about me and my bike if these details would make any difference.
6'2", 190lbs, 33" inseam.
Bike is a 58 cm Redline Metro Classic, 46" Salsa Bell Lap bars, and a 120mm specialized stem with a 16 degree rise.

I'm very comfortable with this set up and have been riding my bike set up this way for about 500 miles or so. The pain just started recently as I've been riding more regularly to work.

Anyone have any thoughts on what could be causing the pain?
