i can't try the TK1 before purchasing...lame.

Sorry for interrupting, I'm new and I couldn't dm you, Carleton.
I'm 6'1" with a long torso.

Also, narrow bars, 33-35cm wide, require longer reach because when you bring the arms together (from say 44cm road bars), the back goes up. To get the back to go down again, you need to go outwards...with more reach.
