Depending on how tall you are the Detroit Bikes Model A may not be the best option because it only comes in the one size. Detroit Bikes lists the height range between 5'3"-6'3".
The Model A does use a quill style stem that is height adjustable and can be changed to a higher rise version if needed but that will have some limits as to how high it will go.
