all,

Started doing a little bit of cycling, mainly road.

I suffer with back issues and the racer is killing me.

I've seen this and really like it, in a sale as obv 2018 model.

I do intend to change the bars to a bullhorn style with tape but keep the sort of gear change etc it has which is kinda mountain bike.

If i got this would it be Ok for if i joined a club in future or do you HAVE to have a bendy bar racer.

I had/have back issues, including disc surgery. Bike fit and core strength could be important to you.

There is no one fix which works for everyone, I deteriorated from very active to unable to walk very far and fairly regular completely debilitating back pain. Since getting back into cycling I've only had one week of mild back pain in 2 and a half years, and I can cycle all day when I get the chance. I've also lost 2 stones which I'd put on after I had to stop running, football etc. which obviously helps.

So in short it could really help with your back pain.

I started on a hybrid but quickly changed to endurance geometry frame with drops as I started doing more than just commuting, might not suit you but I was advised at the time drops would be better and for me, and they were.

Thanks

Everyone seems a little against this type of bike nd thanks for your views on that.

Quick question tho, why so unpopular
