I moved the bars up a bit, down a bit, and so forth. I don't know how I did it,
but it appears I have found some relief in the new bar height. If I can get a
pic (probably my 7 yr old will have to do it) I'll look for a visual
difference. Only more ride time will tell if this will work, and that
I WILL try that and let you know what I discover!

If you are comfortable on the saddle leave it like it is. It looks like you
have the stem pretty high already, if sitting straight upright is what
works best for you, and it very well may be, then you will need a shorter
stem or different bars.
However, before you do any of that play around wit
Mine's tipped up...kind of snooty-like!

I wonder if your saddle is tilted nose-down a bit? That would make you
feel thrown forward onto the bars and put pressure on your hands and arms.

*Arm reach* is adjusted for by stem height/extension.
So if you are sure you like the saddle where it is, and that is the place
I was relunctant to comment because frankly, this is all subjective. When I
read Michael's post however, I thought, that's exactly my impression from
looking at the pic. And your response seems to back that up. First of all,
don't move the saddle to change your reach. Saddle height and position
You may well be right! I DID mess with the bar height because I had to slam the
bars all the way to fit the bike in the van. I raised them all the way up (no
idea where they were prior) afterwards. I'm moving to Vegas today, so once I
reach there and get my bearings I will definitely try differe
It looks like your wrists are bent which will give you arm pain over a
ride. I know it sounds strange but ride no handed and put out your arms
where they would feel comfy. I use a trainer at home. If you find that your
comfortable range is say almost at your knees you could go for a shorter
stem or
Also, as far as what I did during the adjustment, well, who knows? I took that
sucker all the way off so I could experiment with a red B17 to match my Betty!
Vanity is so inconvenient...

YES-that is exactly how I feel: extended. I am reluctant to change the
hardware, however, because prior to messing around with the saddle, it was
perfect. I just can't seem to find that sweet spot, though. I suppose I could
try sliding the saddle forward on the rails again, but I actually love t

Did you just move the saddle rearward during the saddle adjustment?
The picture looks like you are leaning forward and reaching with straight
elbows to reach the bars.
Your arms look totally extended.

No idea! Just whatever Riv chose.

Your position is quite upright. That's the general idea with a B68 and
Albas, but you may feel a little cramped. What length is your stem?
