Hey Al,

Thanks for the great pictures. Your first solution was pretty much what I had in mind; raising the original bars did not seem to provide an upright position, like when you ride "no hands", which is what I was looking for. I intend to at least try some sort of setup that would allow that, and see how that all goes commutingwise. I've searched for threads discussing back pain, and most of the posts seem to suggest PT and exercises, the latter which I do already, hence the hardware solution.

Thanks to all,
