Hello everyone,

This is my first post in Bike Forums , it looks like a really nice place. I'm glad to be here I'll try to explain my difficulty but firstly i gotta tell you that i haven't been writing in english for really long time sorry for mistakes that i may do.

In September 2014 i did quite a research and bought a road bike according to competitive cyclist's fit calculator and wrenchscience.com's fit calculator results. Outcomes were nearly the same. You can see the results in the images below.



I tried to find the most suitable bicycle for me so appropriate frame will be the most important factor for choosing a bike for me. I went nearly all the local bicycle shops and bought KTM Strada 1000 bicycle. You can see the numbers of the frame geometry below.



After i bought this bicycle i rode it for 7 or 8 times and these rides were not more than 1 hours continously. After 30 minutes i started to feel neck pain. I thought my muscles are adjusting because i hadn't cycled for a very long time so i keep riding it but everytime i rode it, i felt neck and upperback pain during the ride and after. I haven't used a road bicycle and drop handlebars before. Holding the bars at the top were somewhat comfortable but when i hold them from under i feel really bad neck pain after a while.

Do you think i made a good choice about choosing this bike ? What do you think i can do about the pain ?

Cheers,

Baran
