I'm now blanking on the measurements, but I want to say it's 23"? It feels like I'm bending over and forward to reach the bars, even with a riser stem."
Yes, I think some Riv bars would fix that part of the problem, but since the bike is too small, I'm not trying to get it super dialed in. My wife rarely rides, and it works for her. Sorry to have gotten my replies split across a few posts now.
