Brian, I don't usually answer my own emails, but I reread my original message, and I guess I did, in fact, also ask what your objection to extended headtubes was. So I guess I am to blame for the contraversy, if that's what it is. All the same, maybe you would care to ignore the negatives of extended headtubes and just give us your opinion as to how you think one should achieve the ability to set the bars at the same height as the saddle.
Regards,
Jerry Moos

Well, Brian, I wasn't really asking why you didn't like extended headtubes, but rather what your preferred method of achieving higher bars is.
Regards,
