As a shorter person (5 ft 6) it's quite difficult getting my le over the handlebars!
Which handlebars are good for shortstuff McGee like me?

If you want a low cross tube, the London bars have the lowest . If you want the overall height low, Odyssey make bars under 7''.

swissmiss bar.
run it no head shims.
I only use 5mm head shim on mine - and they feel low still
but I love them.
never have to worry about them falling out of place, or wondering what angle
is good to ride bars at.

No one mentioned Mike S bars... those would probably work well too if you can handle the true zero offset.
