hi all
i have recently returned to cycling and have been suffering from lower back ache after each ride. i
went to my lbs and they said i looked too upright and needed a longer stem to stretch me out a bit
more. This seemed to be contrary to most of the advice in this newsgroup so i got a second opinion
from another lbs who said that i looked fine in my setup and i probably just needed to experiment
with my saddle height etc. which i have already been doing. They also said that a longer stem would
just make the problem worse.
i've inclued a link to a photo of me on the bike, not the best but it gives a rough idea.

I would appreciate any suggestions on my setup and if there is anything obviously "wrong" with it. I
actually feel quite comfortable on the bike apart from the back ache i get.
Any help would be much appreciated.
