jrandom is not quite old enough to be a born again anything really. Just a slip of a lad who is gonna come down here and give this old fart the learn on a pushie ('cept mine is all handbuilt European stuff and his will prolly be a made in Taiwan frame with Japanese cmomponentry on it!).
Although I haven't been as active on a pushbike as once I was the sheer weight of miles that I did on racing bikes (pushies) means that I am attuned to a VERY forward leaning posture (Backside about 15cm higher than my hands). I find sports bikes (with engines) VERY upright. My wife used to have a GSX750F and I felt it was like sitting on a sofa it was so laid back...put too much weight on the base of my spine. Only rode it occasionally.
The trick to sportsbikes is to use your abdominal muscles to support and move your upper body. I don't put much weight on my wrists at all, even on long trips.
In space, no one can smell your fart.
