recently ive been getting lower back pain across the whole of the back, mostly happens when i use the drops, but didnt happen on my winter bike, im using a short stem 80mm and i have the bars same as my winter bike level with the seat. i got a shorter stem because of over stretching with my 110mm stem

    Work on your stretching and core body strength - riding a bike tends to reduce your flexibility, in particular your hamstrings which are anchored to the lumbar region and hence the discomfort
    Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..
