Right now I'm about an inch shy of the seattop but I only have an inch of stem inserted

. So, I need a couple inches to "get level" and the 3.5 inch rise handlebars will give me an adjustment range plus and minus from there. What seat level do you all have on your errand running bikes?

Yeah, cheaper is better.

Especially when dealing with a cheap bike.

My bopping around town bikes are usually set up with the bars somewhere between seat level and an inch or so above.
