Being pudgy has plenty to do with needing shorter reach and/or higher stack. You're not pudgy so you wouldn't know what it's like. Sorry to hear about your spinal issues. Not being able to breathe freely is just as painful. Kinda defeats the whole point of riding a bike by taking all the fun and enjoyment out of it.
