Baggers look so good with apes! Some nice ones in this thread too! I'm about to pull the trigger on some 14 inch MBB's and I can't wait to get em on!!!! Damn It, apes are cool
Hey Jswerve!- I come in at about 6'1", a bit long in the arms though.
With the Cyclesmith 13"- hands are about 3 inches lower than my shoulders. They are awesome comfortable and I really like the angle/hand position on these Cyclesmiths. Just wish they were 3-4 inches taller as I would just prefer hands to be level with my shoulders.
Wouldn't even mind it if my hands were a little above the shoulders, but we've got to watch out for that around here apparently.
AZ law says no higher than shoulders & I guess there are a few Barney Fife's out there making the world a safer place for all and generating revenue for the local constabulary.
My local Indy says he's been swapping several taller apes out cuz some folks are getting tickets.
They make taller Cyclesmiths. Here in Iowa they say the bars can't be more then 15" higher then your seat...
Just put my 10" prime apes on last weekend. They are wide, verdict is still out on the width, but I think I'll end up liking them. Just need to put some miles on them
