Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

BringMeMyFix Pity. Could try raising the bars in the meantime. Or if you've got a longer stem knocking around, 10-20mm longer and 10-20mm higher might do it.
In my own personal utopia, all frames are 73/73 (to match both my proportions and the year of my debuting on the planet).

The stem is not a quill and I already have riser bars I have some drops though I might try them out one of these days at the very least I can change my hand position

I am begining to find out that something else is required for jaunting off in the country
