On a different but related note, it is possible that your bars are too low and/or too far forward for your maximum comfort. (we are not as flexible as we use to be).

Oh absolutely!!
This is why I traded a campy rear skewer and some drop out positioning screws to SLOAR for a vintage 100mm Cinelli stem.
Just what the Dr ordered.
