I am working in Japan for the next six months and once I got over here I discovered I made a big mistake not bringing my bike(Sampson Ti Z7 road bike). I went out this week and bought a Dahon Speed so I can bring it on trains and keep it in my hotel room. It's not my road bike but I'm sure I can get some good rides in and explore the country with it.

I'm 6'2", 175 lbs. The bike is a nice size for a folder but I would still like to add 2 or 3 inches to the reach. Anyone have any suggestions? The catalogue lists a Syntace VRO but their website dosn't list a distributor in Japan. I'll check the local bikeshops to see what they have but my only idea idea would be to go with a riser bar or just add some bar ends.

I'm not much of a mountain biker so maybe someone more familiar may have some ideas.
