Pinkbike Poll: Is In-Frame Storage Worth It?
i really hate wearing anything on my back... in frame storage makes it easy for routine rides to not have to carry anything on me... tube, c02, lever, multitool, master link, etc etc live in the frame. Each of my bikes has their own set, never have to worry about forgetting the basics.
If there's no in frame storage, a nicely made, frame specific bag like Ibis does is a really nice option.

Pivot's New Mach 4 SL Adds Capability, Not Weight
I use mine all the time... tube, mutli tool, co2, couple other small things that would have fit in a small fanny pack.... perfect for short rides where a single bottle is enough. Riding without a pack or a bunch of stuff in your pockets is great.
two of my bikes have in frame storage. two don't, and those two now have some other on frame solution that does the same thing.
If you always wear a pack for whatever reason, I understand not caring about the storage.

Round Up: All the High Rise MTB Handlebars You Can Actually Buy (Updated)
They are definitely silly dirt bike bars.
But a longer head tube reduces reach, same as adding stem spacers (trigonometry and all). These can give you some stack without reducing reach.
