George, on my Cypress I have an adjustable two piece stem made by Delta which allows me to move the arm (the part holding the bar) up and down on the stem itself for greater or lesser height, without changing the distance the bars are from the saddle. In addition, my stem sits on several spacers to give it more height. I can make as much as about 1.25 inches in adjustment up and down if I want.
