How do i physically make this measurement? am i supposed to have 2 yardsticks at home? ahah

cool, that works, just got an estimate of 2-3 inches to the "tops" of the bars. do people measure from the saddle to the "drops" of the handlebars? or to the "tops"?

To the tops. It's a reference measurement, given that different handlebars have different distances from the tops to the drops. The current fashion is to have a fairly large saddle-to-handlebar drop, but have a handlebar with a shallow ("compact") "drop", meaning the distance from the tops to the drops.

sounds about what i have, but i only estimated 2-3 inches of drop. have a compact drop handlebar though
