See my prior post.
At this point I think we have a plan. I'd suggest blowing $20 on a 6/84 stem, or even seeing if the LBS has a take off in a box under the bench that they would let you have for free. That'll drop you around 2cm. Ride it and see how it goes for a few weeks.
Spend your money on entry fees and tires for now.
While you're doing that hang around here and the "33" racing forum, read, post your race reports, don't get defensive when people have a little fun with them, and learn who knows what they are talking about and take their race advice and try to implement it.
FWIW there are folks here who have won a lot of races and championships that are willing, in a curmudgeonly way, to provide advice.
