Wow, those pedals look new! Usually the dust cap is missing and the side of the cage is all scratched up. In that condition those would go for big $ on eBay.

Sounds like a great candidate for a conversion. Put a short stem on it (50-80mm), with an upward angle to get the bars as high as possible. Add in a long seatpost and you're golden. If the stock post...

3speedslow Love it.
