This topic isn't so retro soz, expect advice to suit.
My medium Bfe frame was nailed together with 150 travel marzocchis I had in stock and tough wheels so it's sort or a long travel trail beast by default! Bar wise I put on the 2" rise 680mm deity bars and 60mm 0 deg stem. Because that's what I had off my other bike. I'm 6ft 2 and although I like a shorter frame and high bars, it felt a bit high and shortish up front, So in the sales I got a 0 deg 70mm stem in modern 31.8 flavour, all I need now is bars and grips. About 1 inch rise.
Looking into the new science of wide bars Im dead tempted to get 750mm eastons just to try it! Or slightly shorter and cheaper Raceface.
Anyone made the leap?
Cheers
Not the most ideal pic for this topic! Due to wonky angle!
