You spend a year and a half getting it build only to keep giving you pain even when the number is 100% spot on fucked up your head.
If the fit is 100% identical to another bike that doesn't cause you pain then must be something other than the fit right?
Are contact points the same? Ie same bars and saddle, hoods same shape/angle? Bar tape the same? Could fatter/thinner tape cause you to hold bars differently affecting muscles unconciously?
If everything identical but still causing you pain then must be flex in the post, tyre pressure or suppleness, something like that?

Believe me I’ve checked, the fit is even identical to the Elephants that have little seatpost showing.
Also, 46cm handlebar have been my de facto choice for off road, the geo was partially taken from the Boardman abet with lower trail and higher handlebar with a bit of Elephants.
I just went for a 2km ride to Ladywell for coffee and it flare up a lots.
Right now I’m just very tempted to get rid of it.

I am very fustrasted.
The bike is perfect but for some reason my upper back is noticeably sore when riding it, no problem, just need some tweak and make sure the numbers is right, changes stem length, angie, even bar to no avail.
Still sore, no problem, go see Scherrit to nip it in the buds.
Better, yet still have the weird pain on the part what felt like middle section on both side of the spine.
Now it reach to the point that I just can’t ride it for longer than 8 kilometres without it flaring up.
Worse still, the more aggressive Trek Checkpoint is way more comfortable despite saddle at the correct position and angle.
