I just set up my mountain bike with an extra tall stem and some new bars the other day. It is so comfortable for the type of riding I do. I did my first real ride of the season--12 miles--on it 2 days ago and it was Fantastic!
The bike is really too small for me. I bought it at a thrift shop and was going to flip it, but then I rode it and loved the ride, so I kept it.
This is what it looked like when I first got it, ...except that I added the bar ends.
It replaced the 26" wheel huffy mtn bike I put together when I first got into riding a couple of years ago(shown below). I put ape hangers on the huffy to make it comfortable, but then we stole the ape hangers to put on my son's new stingray chopper. The huffy has since been given to a person who couldn't afford to buy a bike.
