Back when I was fitting everyday I had a distance rider come in with the numb hand syndrome. About 20 miles and his hands would go numb. He had been sold a bike with a 100 mm stem and he was reaching to keep control and even moved the saddle forward, but the problem persisted. A change to an 85mm stem and a better fitting or saddle height, and distance and the problem went away. Check the dimensions for the bike compared to your size using the Italian bike fitting parameters. HTH, Smiles, MH
