Pretty pricey, though. I appreciate the suggestion and I'll keep it in mind, but I'll probably try something cheaper first.

But there are limits of angles and length of stems.

If you have severe comfort issues, i might no hurt to talk to a bike fitter before blindly throwing money at the problem.

In general riding the bike is not really uncomfortable, it's just this numbness issue. I bought this one because I felt quite comfortable on it and it feels quite alright to me.

What do you mean by more neutral handlebar position and what do I need to do to get it there?

I had the same issue early on.

For a while my saddle titled down and I just rode it like that, but I didn't notice much difference. I was just sliding off more.
