I'm riding 45mm of stackers with 90mm/35dregree stem and TT highrise bars. I'm just under 6 foot.
I really cant ride anything too low down now or too far out but some people can make it work.
Maybe try the Onza stem with more rise bars or the 90X35 stem like Ali just suggested.
Edit: Maybe I've got the 70 mm actually....
Tom posted a picture of his Ashton with a new proto hub on but the picture isn't very clear.
I presumed it was a hub with more engagements but maybe its the straight pull version.

Maybe email him and say you will give him bad feedback unless he refunds you your £2.
I'd just check over the ebay listing too to make sure you didn't miss something about the postage, but it sounds like he is in the wrong.
Yer that is me. The guy who actually rides something similar to what the guys asking about.
I'll put it another way. They don't even do the lites in a 24 which basically says everything.
