That's what I was getting at in the first two options. It kind of works.<br /><br />But the geometry is really not ideal. As the bars go up they get closer. But your torso is longer than intended for the size, as are your arms. You end up hunched over. It was a backache that made me abandon this idea.<br /><br />I think it works to a certain extent if you only need one size bigger than the frame you are adjusting, but it breaks down when you need two or three sizes bigger.<br /><br />If this wasn't the case all bikes would come in one size, extra small, and lots of adjustments. I realize that there are examples of this, but I think there are reasons why it isn't more mainstream.<br /><br />DavidDavidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07697430923464144248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5064459391707841087.post-53924258263972751092010-11-16T11:07:39.403-05:002010-11-16T11:07:39.403-05:00Have you tried combining a standard frame with lon...Have you tried combining a standard frame with longer handlebar stems and seat posts (such as those used with folding bikes)?<br /><br />For example, Pacific Cycles supplies long, adjustable handlebar stems for their Pacific Reach. The Reach has 20" wheels so Pacific employs the longer parts to provide traditional geometry to a mini-velo; however, the same parts could be used on a standard sized bike to give you greater clearance.<br /><br />Larry<br /><a href="http://ridethisbike.com" rel="nofollow">RideTHISbike.com</a>Webhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04679657033851641870noreply@blogger.com
