Yeah, I had the same problem when I bought mine. It hurt my back to ride it. I think this is one of the places that racing culture has influenced recreational and utilitarian riding. The forward position is to cut wind and get a full extension of the leg when peddling to fully maximize your speed potential...Which just doesn't matter when you're not a racer.

I fixed my bike by swapping out the short downward angle quill stem with a taller, more upright angle, bought fixie bmx style riser bars that slightly slope backwards and a wider, padded seat. I'm not the fastest rider on the road, but I'm not the slowest either. It doesn't take me any longer to get to work now than it did with the racing style setup and it's a much, much comfier ride. More importantly, I can spend way more time in the saddle, which makes me a stronger, better rider since I'm not in constant pain from the bike beating me up.

This book is what tuned me into racing's impact on cycling as a sport. It's a good read:

I really like the Panasonic Ribmo tires. The profile takes some getting used to, but they've been great for me.

I got this PDW Takeout Basket and it's pretty awesome. Not extremely roomy, though, depending on what you need to carry.

I like the Continental City Ride II. I used to run Gatorskins, which are great, but these have a little bit more grip. I also like that they have a reflective strip in the sidewall for a little extra visibility if you ride at night.

Leave the crank and BB on and get a conversion kit. Then just swap the cogs and take some links out of the chain.

They're EighthInch Amelia wheels and Continental Contact II 700x37c tires. I just finished building this yesterday, so I can't really recommend them just yet though.

46/36 x 17.

The rear mech in the back will probably be replaced by a proper paul melvin single speed chain tensioner in the future.

Am I banned from /r/singlespeed yet?
