I'm just under the cutoff, of course, at a normal height of 6'2". 95cm
pbh, and a 25" bike, but still just under the cutoff.

I have had those bars on three bikes and have done brevets, overnight
rides, and mixed-terrain rides on them. I spend most of the time on
the hoods, but spend more time on the drops than I would on a
traditional drop handlebar, as the drops are more accessible. I like
this bar.

you ride on the hoods mostly or in the drops? I love the look of these
types of bars but I'm not sure how they would feel.

Was your movie done with a GoPro? I especially liked the descent.
Steady cam + drum-n-bass sound made it feel like a Darren Aronofsky
film.

Hey Bobby,
Don't have the time at the moment to upload a picture. Will later
tonight. But here's how it worked out:
Tires:
-Marathons. 50lb pressure. Take no chances. 46mm.
Racks:
-Old Man Mountain Extreme front Lowrider, skewer mounted.
-Old Man Mountain Sherpa rear rack, skewer mounted.

It's a little unclear just how much setback the Nitto lugged seatpost
has. Rivendell says it has 15mm more than the Crystal Fellow, and on
AEBike's website, it says that the Crystal Fellow has 14mm of setback,
so that would imply that the lugged seatpost has around 30mm of
setback.
That's the sam

It's been awhile since I installed one of these, but assuming you have the
struts and the fasteners that attach the struts to the rack, I believe all
you need would be some M5 bolts of the appropriate length. Every LBS has M5
bolts. If you don't have the struts, etc, then call Riv.
