New bike

GT's are rubbish.

Seriously though, it'd be a shame to put risers on it. In the pic the brake hoods look pretty much as high as you'd want them. You could get an inline post to fractionally shorten the reach if you think that'd help as the stem looks pretty short already.How tall are you and what's the frame size?

p.s. noice boik

I'm 5 "7",and the bikes a 54cm supposedly,will have to measure it though.
I had a Kinesis racelight rc 50cm and i still couldn't grab the levers great,maybe i need to stretch my fingers lol.
Will try an inline post me thinks.I know the red Hutchinsons tyres don't look great(brand new from previous owner)will get some nice conti's for it after i sort the post etc out.I like the bike though as its a bit different and not commonly seen.
