The compromise here is quite extreme.
Still, it has the componentry you wanted...
Well, we'll see how it goes. I felt like I was standing on my hands during the first test ride, so they made some adjustments to the stem (I think they might have even changed it out? Not sure because I was having a mild heat stroke after riding several miles in 90 degree temps with the sun in my eyes...) and raised the angle of the bars a bit. It felt fine during the second test ride. I don't feel like I am over reaching either, which was one of the big problems with my other bike. I am hopeful this will work.
