move to disc brakes in order to fit the fattest, softest tires possible. And buy whichever bike has the best front end gizmo to lessen harsh road conditions, and gel under your bar tape. If that doesn't work, maybe time to get most of the weight off your hands by going super high bars or flat bars.
Not suggesting a Riv, but this thing looks comfy to me. Maybe the style is right for you.
I'm 66 and my hands are starting to not enjoy the ride as much as they used to.
