Yawn,
do you mind me asking what frame size it is? I'm just a tad shorter than you so could do with some idea of what would be a good size to go for.
Those brake levers do look like a bit of a stretch though, would you have gone for a slightly larger frame if you were fitting risers?

Cheers.

This picture is actually a little deceiving, the levers are not as far away as it suggests, check the left hand bar; the proportion is true from tis angle.

seat tube - 55cm c-t
top tube - 55cm c-c
stem - 110mm

I'm used to the bar position as I come from road bikes but with my hands on the flat bit of the bars (as you would be with risers) it's good for me. Saying that, this is a custom build so fits me, you may well want a different setup.

I would recommend a custom fit to anyone who's thinking of keeping their frame for a while. I've had many off-the-peg road bikes in past that sort of fit, this is my first that really does fit. Money well worth spending in my opinion, and it sounds as though custom builds have a shorter lead time then when I ordered mine in March '08. I finally got my hands on it 7 months later!
