Look at Kromewerks sweepers. I'm only 6' and have the standard ones which work well for me. The 2+2 may work well for ya if ya like more.

A good classic style are either Cyclesmith or HCC. Both or similar in looks and style. I have used both, and very pleased with either. I currently have HCC 14". "Side note", the 14" HCC measure 16" from bend to bend.

I like my 14" Wild 1's. I'm 6'1 with a 32" inseam and I sure wouldn't want any taller than what I have.

Agree with you. Even on the 500-mile trips they are perfect.
