Ladies Bikes - What are you riding?

I've just bought my first road bike to do longer rides on the weekend. I have gone for a 60s men's elswick because I'm quite a tall lady (5'11'') but I have a slight problem, I have child's hands and find reaching the brake levers a bit of a challenge. It seems I'm not the only one on this forum with this issue. I wanted to ask which levers are the best for this problem and if anyone had better luck with different handlebars and stems? I've heard that the nitto drip drop stem is quite good for reach but having trouble sourcing it. Thanks!

This is surely more to do with body proportions/arm & torso length rather than the actual size of your hands.

Brake levers especially modern STI type only come in one size (I think) and even children manage to use them. Handlebars & stems is not really going to effect how your hands fit around the levers. Even for use in the hooks of your bars, the brake levers can be adjusted for closer reach.

If your talking stems & bar changing. Your really talking about a frame being too long for you. Try getting your stem higher, stack more spacers and use a riser stem.
