Hi, I commute to work (7km each way) and somehow I feel that by bike could be more sporty.
Instead of buying a new bike, I'd like to know tips on how can I changey seat and handlebars to get this feeling.
Can any of you recommend a material to learn about this?
My bike is below
Thanks
Ok, based on the picture it looks to me that you have a bike designed for an upright position, but the handlebar looks too low, is this correct? The saddle looks designed for an upright position too.
Maybe the frame is a bit too small for your size, but you could try to raise the handlebar and see how it goes. Maybe some handlebar extender
EDIT: my points were mainly for the hand sore, for the knee I'm not sure. Is the saddle height correct? One way to test it is that by sitting on it and extending your knee you should reach the lowest point of the paddle with your foot flat
EDIT: check this for example for bike dimension and saddle height

This website seems very completed and not bloated.. thank you so much!
It's not bad, right? I found it by chance with Google, by looking for the image Inkinked, not the first result, but didn't look bad
