also, other recommendations for upgrades are also helpful. still have some $ in the budget to spend.
Wow...your stem and headset combined will cost as much as the bike itself.

This is the size you need for headset.

This is the stem that you need.

You'll need a shim to use that stem.

They have the cheapest Nitto B201aa, they are restocking though. You could buy this at Ben for 15 dollars more.
