I got a professional bike fit early on when I started cycling after I a bought a 53cm Pegoretti Responsorium. Even though I have long arms for my height, it was recommend that I use a 100mm stem along with short reach handlebars. In addition, the bike fitter told me that I should've sized up in order to gain stack height for my level of fitness and flexibility at the time. The bike fitter referred me to do PT for gluteus medius strength, left hip mobility, asymmetric pelvic rotation, and hamstring flexibility.
My back pain went away after a couple months of PT. I still ride the same Pegoretti but have lowered the stack height and switched to a 120mm stem.

81" Wingspan? Holy **** man, that's not a typo is it? I'm 6'2" (74") with a 73" wingspan. Have you considered a professional career in boxing?
