I'm all for meeting people's physical needs. Is there a reason why your arms can't be lower? Can you show us a picture of the entire bike?
Here is the entire bike. The story behind it is that it was 2 sizes too small so lemonade was made from lemons and it was converted to a "road bike" by reducing the fork length and increasing the offset, decreasing the bar width and increasing the reach. It is a lot of fun to ride, everyone who hops on it loves it. It has the darty steering of a road bike but is still reasonably upright and comfortable. It has 57mm of trail according to the calculator at yojimg dot net
I recently dropped big bucks on these tires, and only then did I realize... should I even be riding this thing? lol
Pro tip: 11 speed sram gripshift plus 11 speed shimano road derailleur = 7/8 speed cassette spacing.
