also, bikes can be two small in various areas. ie on-ones have a monster long top tube, but low stand-over and short headtubes, making the fit funky. konas on the other hand, and specialized to an extent, have longer headtubes, raising the handlebars. you need more sweep, higher bars. less sweep will not only knacker your neck, but also the bikes steering will become twitchier, and your ulnar nerve will come under pressure, causing your fingers to go numb.
