I went for a 100mi ride a month ago, I noticed the bike was starting to vibrate a bit. By the time I was 30mi from home my body started to ache from it. I had to pull over to stretch my ass out. Didn't ride it until today, just to work. In gears 1-3 it sounds like someones shaking sheet metal. I would try to get to a high gear because it sounded like it was about to fall apart.
Any ideas what could have come loose or has an issue?
Here's some info on my bike:
