in my opinion, handlebar height seems more of a personal preference. ...? its really whatever is most comfortable for you. when it comes down to it, handlebar height really just dictates your seat in the saddle and your back/neck (dis)comfort. to me, the real difference between having yourself seated upright versus low comes from racing and the need to be more aero. since many of these people don't race, there's no need to be low. make sense?

I generally put the handlebars almost all the way down, and I'm 5'5.5", too. This nearly mimics the feel of my road bike. But I also find it perfectly comfortable.
