Thank you for all the replies. Much appreciated. I guess I'm going to need some sort of an extender. On my old Trek all I had to do was to loosen a bolt and pull up on the handlebar to bring it higher. I don't think this is possible with this bike. There was nothing to pull out when I loosened the screws. It's not too comfortable riding the bike as I'm leaning a little too much forward -which I don't like- and I'm trying to get a more upright position.
