I purchased the bike after what i thought was a life time of research I'm a novice upon test ride it was great after riding 25 miles +daily to from work I've noticed I'm having trouble reaching the bars i find myself gripping the bars with only my fingers Palm open to achieve some comfort while sacrificing other comforts and probably safety, I went to the bike shop I purchased from and they said I won't Be able to lift the bars any without buying a new fork and all so I'm asking what could I do I've heard of riser bars would that help? I know I could ask the guys at the bike shop but they seem to blow me off I guess because I don't look the part or idk.. But they seem to be uninterested in what im saying. Sorry for being long winded thanks. Oh it's a specialized sirrus elite 2015 if that helps
