The more upright position is a lot more pleasant for me, too. (Weak wrists & shoulders from the same accident.) Been doing about 10 miles a day, after kickboxing bag workouts. Good way to cool off. Also, the bosque trail is gorgeous!
I'm not much of a fan of the color red but that is one sweet looking ride you have there. Waiting to see what she looks like after you put on the new shoes.
