So it does fit - but the interesting bit that I have noticed is that 10 years ago people erred on the small side if they were between sizes, whereas a lot of the reviews I read these days seem to push towards going a size bigger if you're borderline.

He's a reasonably tall dude, do you have some magic balance where 760+ / 65 is whack?

I've had a 70mm stem and 730mm bars dropped on my desk this morning (thanks oldandlazy) which looks like a really good place to start.

I'd need to be on the bike to check, but I'd almost think that a longer bar with shortish reach setup might end up in a bar vs knee clash (I'm not ambidextrous, so I always have my right foot forward - so a right hand turn may get a long bar close to my knee? I can't quite picture it at the moment though....)

. I'd chuck some 720+ bars on and a 65ish stem and work from that. I reckon going 640 bars to 760 or similar is going to feel 2spoopy doing it all at once.
