Thanks! Yes it is a 62 cm. I had Noodles on the bike before which I really liked but I just couldn't get to a place where I wasn't experiencing neck pain even with the bars raised way up.That was enough motivation for me to try different bars. I also was thinking about the Albastache but after talking with Will I felt that they would still be a little too aggressive for my liking. I hear you on the expense part. I ended up buying the bars from a list member and I tried to save money by attempting to make my original 8cm stem work. I ended up scrapping that idea after one ride because the cockpit felt so cramped to me. You may be different so I would suggest trying your original stem but you will need a shim to reduce the clamp size down to 25.4. I swapped out for a new 12cm stem and that works much better for me. I am finding that there are still a few tweaks to be made. i lowered the angle of bars so they are now more in line with my wrists and I also lowered the stem much lower than I had with the Noodles. The combination of those three things have made a difference for me. That said I have yet to ride anything over 15 miles so I don't have anything to go on. If your patient I am sure bars, stem or both will come up for sale soon.
