Thanks for your feedback. Look at the picture below to see how stretched my arms look. I dont think that is normal position and it's been almost 1 month since I got the bike and it still feels uncomfortable. In fact, I think this position can be dangerous over time because it over stretches the shoulder and arms muscles.
