Cranky,
Could you please provide some additional information with detailed photos on your Mini mod of the front post / stem / handlebars?
I love my Mini but I have to do something to get the handle bars higher - either change the bars or change the way they mount.
I saw the previous thread but I can't really tell what you did from the photos or the other guy's posts.
Specifically, what did you do to replace the original front post as it's welded to the hinge?
As always, thanks for your help.
