Once you stockpile an assortment of stems you can dial in your optimum
reach from the saddle to the bars.
The next obvious extension of this logic is to pursue additional
frames with top tube dimensions that pair with the other stems to
build as many bikes as possible with the optimum total reach.
u not justify a whole bike?

bars and prefer the greater flair in the dorps of a dirt drop style

The midge bars are MUCH wider feeling and in actuall measure. I have
them and use them on some set ups, but find the drops short, I have
