Loving the ride. Have the handlebars way up where I couldn't get them

If anyone is interested, I ended up buying Forrest's single top tube
frameset.
Nice solution.

Taiwan-built, for canti brakes -- sorry, only one top tube. I am first
of the bars.
Perhaps Canall can consider keeping the bars at their current height,
but bring them in closer. It would have the same effect with respect
to back angle as raising the bars, but would not sacrifice leverage on
standing up for going over hills.

Hi all:
Thanks for the good ideas and thoughts. I think that in trying to
pull up on the paint sticks, I was actually crouching down/leaning
forward a bit, and I also think that the tape measure was off-center.

PBH of 80 cm is consistent with Rivendell literature.)
In the grand scheme of things, a very minor problem to have, but it
does make me wonder why I cannot seem to pull up on my paint sticks to
get a more accurate measurement.

I would like to put Big Apples or Fat Franks on my All Rounder which
has 26 x 1.5s on it now. How big can I go? - It's a 1996 frame and
large enough to fit me at 6' 1. Is this as easy as measuring the
space left beyond the 1.5s are there other variables.

someone pointed out, the $40 to $50 bar is cheaper than dental work,

1) Has anyone done this conversion? If so, what width of tires are
you using and how is the ride?
2) Can I file down 1 mm if I need to lower the brake pads, and still
maintain the safety of the brakes?

noticed is that a shoe with a bit of tread on
it (like Rockports or boots) will grip better when the pedal is wet
than do the Sambas. I normally wear a boot when I ride in the rain
and Sambas on sunny days, so it works out well. They are nice pedals.
