The handlebar positions end up a bit ( l like about one inch) above saddle height and the grip reach is about even with the steering axis, which was what I accomplished with the RockHopper. I have a Schwinn road frame set up with a similar cockpit.
Here’s a possible Rivendell example, the Sam Hillborne. 650B in smaller sizes and 700C for larger frames. Looks like it clears 48mm tires, if that is big enough for you. The orange example has the same bar shape that I’m using. The Rivendell is more of a vintage style bike with rim brakes, bar end shifters, threaded fork and quill stem. Looks like their inventory is as low as most bike shops today.
