I've sent you a message re a white lightnin"

So I found a Raleigh White lightnin' on marketplace last summer, thread here, I'd really like to keep it but no matter how many times I ride it I have to accept it's too big for me, I've tried every bar and stem combo in the spares box but can't get a riding position that agrees with my back...

Long time lurker but first post, I've been into mountain bikes since the mid 80's and have a soft spot for pre 90 bikes, my current retro rig is a 88 Cinelli ottomillauno with full m730 xt. I wasn't really after another bike but while idly scrolling through Facebook marketplace yesterday I came...
