might like to put a shorter stem on it.  As you may be stretched out when sitting at the back of the saddle.

Hey they used to use bars like that on racers.  They called them North Road.
But there just normal roadster bars turned upside down

hi swelrose it's really comfy to ride i'll take it to the shows you'll both have to try it. Alec the bars are upside down the stem seems to work fine but it is a little strange sittin over the rear axle. yo cotter pin nice bikes yougot there
