Bikes: hardtail, squishy, fixed roadie, fixed crosser

785mm low rise bars, 60mm and 70mm stems, depending on the bike. Love 'em. And I'm a whopping 5'8" tall with average shoulders/arms.

As you go wider, you need to shorten the stem - the wider bars stretch you out (obviously) in the shoulders, and this has the effect of drawing your torso more forward as well.

Great steering, lets me weight the front end of the bike like I prefer, yet still super easy to get low and back when wanted.
