Kathi,

Thanks for the tip about head tubes. I hope I don't sound stupid, but I hadn't properly considered this aspect of bike fit. It only makes sense that raising the bars is another way to bring them closer, and I have been perhaps too focused on making sure they were horizontally closer. Does this mean that for someone with really short arms the bars will likely be higher than the saddle? It seems most bikes have the bars about even with the saddle or even lower. I'm going to start paying more attention to this!
