Yes its quite cramped - the distance between top of seat post (I measured from middle/center of clamp area - of laid back stem) to top of stem (center) is 45cm (when all extended to the max). I had the same idea like you Jur and think about ordering a longer high rise "extension stem" to get the bar higher and more forward, in addition to that perhaps some bullhorns - or some drops:


With the narrow wheelbase and my planned modifications it will probably be a "almost unicycle" experience

Michael Lin said that I was too long for the bike and that they will think about a slightly bigger Carryme for the West.
