I really don't see how those handlebars would work well.
The stock bars were shaped like a flattened letter M .
I think these bars are stock,,, hard to see with everything black and covered by my add-ons.
might be easier to see than the pdf.
I used a different stem than the previous owner used.
1. The Day6 Samson is rated @ 400lbs.
I rode a Day 6 dream @285 lbs.
2. lots of spokes 4 your wheels,,,, see if you can scrounge up or custom build a 40 spoke tandem/touring set.

maybe some day I will instinctively put my knee just outside the pot hole and keep my tires safe.
No reason that we can't make the practice pain free, and speed up your minds adaption.
All wrapped up in a tangled ball are things you forgot you had to learn as a toddler with a new bike.
To TRUST the bike, you have to FEEL what its doing, and KNOW if that's normal/ok/or disaster.
Good place...
This site would benefit from a history page.
