Yeah, I see what you mean - It does look low !

A nice change from the standard finishes too ...

Thanks for the post:

I like the higher front end, it seems to suit me better. I've *just* pulled them back slightly further too (from yesterday when I took the pic), which in turn has forced me back a bit further over the back wheel, and it certainly seems to stand on it's arse better now I'm back there a bit (I think I was riding a bit too far forward previously).

I ride lots of xc (er, xc in a kinda jumpy/technical way, not a lightweight firetrack bike kinda way), and I may have been inadvertently thinking about xc type ergonomics for this bike too - It's certainly more comfortable like this, I was getting wrist and forearm aches with the lower front end - but set up like this I've been ok ... I am old though' ...

The bars are great btw, a really nice shape: I'll be putting a set on my new xc build for sure.

Nice shot, very different ...

I see a Yamaha Pacifica too in the background if I'm not mistaken ... (I'm not a guitar spotter, it's just that I have one too).
