I take it having the commuter bike is helping you understand what's comfortable?

I would take a breather, not worry about components, and get a frame that fitted.

maybe shorter and more upright would take the strain off?

or a wrist support. you can get some pretty funky ones from a proper sports physiologist.

You sounds like the perfect candidate for a bike fit.

a 1500 bike from a shop that fits will be better than a 1500 bargain from the internet you can't ride.

[i]Lots more to consider than just one simple measurement. [/i]

Yes I know, but based upon Renton's history it's a starting point.
