I want to make things a bit slacker on my P7 without making it look like a clown bike.. Currently have a 100mm stem with low-rise Monkey lite XC bars(quite old,so narrow by todays standards). Thinking of switching to a 70mm stem with a wide, flat bar. Any thouhts?

How would that make it slacker? Headtube angle would remain the same.

The bars would be closer but at the same height (it's a theory).

If by slacker you are referring to the head angle, changing the stem would have no effect. A fork with a longer axle to crown length would though.
