I'm searching for a new stem to move my position around a bit on my Scandal

At the moment I've got an 80mm @ 5-6 degrees I think, with a Fleegle bar (flat with 15 degree sweep)

I'm after a stem to bring me back and up a little!
'cos of a bit of a lower back strain on long rides 6+ hours, climbs especially

I was trying to find a 65 or 70mm (don't want to go too short) with about a 15 degree rise for non oversized bars. (I know more rise alone will effectively bring me back a little)

No options to move the Stem up the steerer, it's at the top already
I like the sweep on the bars I've got 15 degrees I think

Any ideas? I've not been able to find much thats not some massive chunk of square billit alloy designed for DH Dutys (all oversize anyway)

I have thought about a OS Salsa ProMoto (or similar) bar with the same sweep
this will bring me back 'cos it doesn't have the fleegle forward backward sweep thing going on but does nowt to move me up with out a new stem too and still struggling to find any no OS stems with 15odd degrees

hoping to find a stem only option as opposed to stem and new bars too

Any ideas Chaps & and Chapesses?

I had thought that, but are there any about with that sort of sweep on 'em?

most are over sized too

may have to be Stem and Handlebars to get where I want to get to.
was hoping to save some ££, bit skint at the Mo
and only a bit of an experiment really too

all I want is a Stem at 70mm with 15Degrees and a 24.whatever it is mm clamp 😥

Cheers Dales_Rider, used one when I got my Niner set up recently
very useful
but unfortunately only goes down to 75mm hoping to go a bit shorter than that ideally

Seems 15 deg tough to find, can't you shim this out?...

20 deg: http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=28647

cynic-al, yep could use a 70mm 20D but it's over size so need new bars too
which I was hoping to avoid

b r, could do but doesn't get me the rise I was after

looks like I'm after the moon on a stick 😥
