Ok riser bar is more what I was imagining re: the hand grips being more in reach. Looks like the bile came w a flat bar. Yeah the guys at my local shop are really great, I'm sure the guy's fit advice did have to do with handling, still just trying to find the balance between the one guy's advice vs personal comfort level. Riser bar could maybe solve the problem w/o raising height of handle bars even more, or creating too upright position.... perhaps...
