Yeah Thomas ..... it appears the top of the head tube is about the same height as the top of the seat tube on the Betty.... maybe a touch higher. If you can extrapolate from there what you'd need in stem height you'll get a good idea how it may or may not work for you with a tall technomic. My view on fit may not be anyone else's here .... I don't know. I like a high bar too, but I don't really like technomic stems. On my 60cm. Bombadil I have a 130mm 90 degree stem that gets the bars 1-2 inches above my saddle. It has a much higher front end that allows me to use a stem of modest height. Man ... I'd really like a Betty though. ..... but my days of riding too small of frames are over. No more lurching over the bars for the tall guys!
