He built up that bike for our 2014 Pacific Coast tour, still using it, the photo I posted is from our 2017 Southern Florida tour.
Since your reach on that type of bar will be much further forward than with conventional upright bars, that suggests that you want a frame with a shorter top tube. Thus you might have trouble finding a hybrid frame that will fit you well with that type of bar.
Thanks, that is close to what I'm looking for but definitely need it a bit more relaxed/upright. How do the bars with that setup work for him?
