Jim, I'm late to this, but as a data point: I have a PBH of 100 cm I would not expect to get the bars anywhere near high enough with that Soma frame and a Tallux stem. High enough for me means at least saddle height or higher. To illustrate: I have a 66 cm Peugeot frame with a level top tube. On that bike I have a 100 mm Dirt Drop stem (which is taller than the Tallux with 225 mm of quill) and bars with ~40 mm of rise (i.e. not drops) and the grips are only a little above saddle height. I'd want them even higher if they were drop bars. I know ST angle and HT extension could make things different but hopefully it gives you an idea, at least.
