Thanks, John. I ordered a 130mm stem. With the unlovely Delta stem raiser, that will give me lots of positions to experiment with. Why Cannondale ever thought that a touring bike needs the seat several inches above the stem is a mystery to me. They effectively made the "large" frame model a smaller bike. (Literally - it's an inch shorter overall than a large was with the frame style that had the shifter bosses on the downtube and the rear brake control cable on top of the top tube.) Maybe their trying to appeal to appearances rather than function is why they no longer sell a touring bike.
