Before too long I'll be building up a 26" Firemans Texas Cruzer:
It's going be my all-around "play" bike and ridden when it's not necessary to take my mountain bike. It'll see a lot of casual city riding and the occasional dirt jump.
Handlebars
Stem
The other parts should be pretty easy to figure out but man, the handlebar and stem thing is stressing me out. I need a drink.

What rise should I be looking for? It seems 5.5" is the norm for what is called "cruiser bars" but I also see pictures of cruisers with taller bars. I was recently looking at the S&M Cruiser Slam Bars as an option.
What effect does the rise have on a bike like this?

Stem
The laid-back seat post angle on this bike will result in a lot of cockpit room with the post extended. I'm 6'5" tall so I need room but I don't want to be too stretched out. They sell this as a complete bike and it looks to come with a 50mm stem - does that sound like a good length?
