Its a 62 cm, pretty much the biggest I could find on 2nd hand for my budget and fits ok. I think the frame is a vintage Raleigh (no marking/stickers on frame as had already been repainted by previous owner), and the head tube slants back a fair bit, so was potentially thinking about getting a longer stem

Evening, first post on here. I'm currently re painting my bike I got off gumtree a few months ago, and I want to spruce it up comfort-wise on reassembly. Issue is, I'm 6'4" and the the bars it came with are about 50cm wide, straight with palm-shaped (?) grips, so width is just about ok but my shoulders/back do sometimes get a bit sore after a long ride. The frame isn't the biggest so I do sit pretty straight up when riding with the flat bars, I don't know if this is part of the prob?
Have been looking at bullhorn bars as a new alternative in terms of being able to reach further forward/ have varied grip, but they do seem to be on the narrower side from what I can tell online - what do my other tall/wide shouldered riders have to say on the bars front? Are wide bars essential? Are bullhorn bars actually comfy?
Also any reccs for comfy seats would be greatly taken, my fat ass needs a pamper. Cheers!! -
