L5-S1 Fusion - Bike to Choose

Hi

I just had S1-L5 fusion surgery and wanna get back to riding. I have gotten and AWSOME offer for a Trek Madone 9.5 but worry that the bike is too agressive for me now. Another offer on a Roubaix Pro. What is your experience with riding agressive bikes after surgery. My doc actually want me to lean on my arms more than my back, so actually a forward position according to him is not so bad.

Cheers, Tor.

I would suggest a comfort-hybrid. You are not leaning too forward or too upright, I also have problems with L5-S1.
