I used drop bars on a dirt drop 8 stem for a while, but the handling was still a little squirrely in front. I've since converted it back to upright bars. Now I'm using Jones cut Loop 590 bars on an 80 mm stem, and the bike handles great. So, an XL MTB frame may have a long enough top tube for you. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
