FWIW I'm 6'1 and my ideal frame is 58/59 with a 565 TT(competitive cyclist eddy fit).My Porteur is built on a '85 schwinn le tour luxe with a 61(C-C) ST and 57 TT with a 100 stem. I'm running VO porteur bars on it and often find myself gripping the bars towards the bend rather than the end. I feel a slightly longer TT might have been better.Maybe i'll try a longer stem someday, but with the shellaced and wipped cotton over cork wrap it's not going to happen anytime soon. Good luck with your build!
