Paratrooper mentioned weight distribution in post #5, and fit was mentioned in post #8, which included a link to Peter White's theories on fit. I agree with your suggestions, but not with the last statement. A recumbent is absolutely a cure, just not one for the current bike. Less expensive solutions should be tried first.
