I'd like a new stem. I'd like it to be:
White
OS
90-100mm
10+ degree rise
I seem to be struggling, but it can't be that hard surely?
Any ideas?
Make the rise 6 degrees and your laughing? Can't you achieve the same position you want by using one with less rise by moving stem spacers about?
No flexibility with stem spacers I'm afraid, there's already about 20mm under the stem and none above (perils of being a lanky get).
higher rise bars?
Blow the front tyre up a bit?
Get a frame that fits you?

Does it really make a perceivable amount of difference? ๐ฏ
Ritchey or Bontrager 17 degree stem and move spacers around?
There are some 110 mm 5 degree white stems on Superstar:

and some 90mm here

6.9mm height difference between 10 deg and 6 deg for a 100mm stem 8)
maybe some really, really thick grips to gain the extra 7mm?
Higher rise bars?
Thinner pedals/shoes and drop your saddle a touch ๐
higher rise bars?
An option
Blow the front tyre up a bit?
Good idea. Or, I suppose, I could fit a really skinny tyre to the back...
Get a frame that fits you?
It does, but it's from back in the day when the style was more arse up, head down. I'm trying to make it a bit less so
Easton EA90??
