Is this an 80s Japanese bike? According to Sheldon Brown, the Japanese makers at that time didn't really have a good idea of the body proportions of tall American guys, despite making very good products.
Hence my 60 cm Fuji Allegro (1985?), which came with 39 cm handlebars and 170 mm cranks. The 39 cm Nitto Olympiade bars were beautiful and stiff, but way too small for me. The 170 mm cranks are shorter than I prefer for a geared bike, but just perfect for a fixed gear
