I've had the same experience. I now ride with the handlebar about 1 to 2
centimeters below the saddle height. That business of raising the handlebar
as high as you can get them doesn't work for me.

I think it's important to realize that any change can equal a really
painful result. Quick and dramatic changes - such as going from 3-4 cm
below to 6 above (not saying that was what happened here, just trying to
make the point) - change the stresses on the body dramatically and
suddenly.
To my eyeball, it seems like that bar you're using has a lot of reach. Maybe a
shorter reach bar would be better?
I still think switching to a more usable 44-46t big ring will eliminate lots of
problems.

Diagnosing fit by looking at a picture of a riderless bike seems silly to
me. If you really want some help, we need at least a picture of you on the
bike, with both feet on the pedals.

A riderless bike is actually full of information. Admittedly, seeing the rider
on the bike is another useful data point.

I can feel less than 2mm on seat post height, but what I've found has the
most effect on my lower back hurting or not, on any given setup, is the
tilt do the saddle. We're talking ANAL here; a quarter turn on one of the
seat post screws is sometimes too much. I'd suggest you try that first if
This is counter-intuitive to the assumption that higher bars equal a
better more comfortable position. I kept raising my bars in search of
comfort. I usually ride on the brake hoods and after many miles found the
drops more comfortable so I lowered the bars to 1-2cm below the saddle and

I have been using the Just Ride PBH-11=Seat Height fit method, and the
bars as high as one likes method.
