German boiler = LOL! Good one.
Thoughts of racing are long since over for me. For me, it is now about fitness.
Perhaps, it is time to adjust the bike set up to your aging body and current physical situation. Sometimes half an inch one way or the other makes a big difference in comfort, especially if it reduces an over-extension (as opposed to not extending far enough).
Ten years ago, I bought a new stem that was 20 mm shorter than my youthful 120 mm version. Now, I'm wondering if an 80 or 90 mm would be better still.
I started comparing and measuring your bikes using some computer tools I have but, sorry, did not finish.
