Could you take a closer picture, and put something in the picture to use as a size reference? I would suggest a ruler or tape measure.

If I had to guess I would say 160mm = 6.3" ; give or take.

Count the bricks and you'll get your answer! Bricks are generally about 2.5" thick, and the mortar in between them probably adds 1/2" per pair. So that adds up to about 10" rise, if you figure that there are slightly less than 4 bricks from the top of head tube to top of the handlebar.

I'm about to buy a fixie. I want to buy handlebars like in the picture, but im not sure about the size. Found this pic on fb from 2012 and didn't receive a reply from the owner. That's why im asking for your ideas.

thanks for the input everyone. I found out that the original pure fix handlebar is 4.75. So this one should be around 5.5 or 6
