    I meant /really/ high rise. Or a stem extension to use the standard
    bars. You could fit a quick release to the clamp so you could fold them
    back, but that might not inspire huge confidence when jamming on the
    brakes. There are ways I can think of to overcome this, but they're
    more within the capability of a framebuilder than a home mechanic.

    You would need to do a new extendable stem. Putting a QR on the bar
    clamp and rotating them on a regular basis is bad news. You are likely
    to score the bars which are then prone to failure. I'm sure Steve Parry
    would do it for you at a price.

    I think all the regular promoters of Bromptons on this group are taller
    than you. OK, not Peter Clinch...

    I am 5' 10".
