Stem Angles
I'm interested in purchasing a new VO Stem for my bike, and I was having trouble deciding between the 17 degree and 6 degree stems.
The difference between them would be that the 6 degree stem would make my handlebars higher up, right? So it would just be a matter of comfort?
Thanks for the help.

Opposite. 17 degree would give you a higher handlebar.

given 73 degree head angle is 17 degrees off vertical, so a 17 degree stem is horizontal
in 'angled down' installation,
or 107 degrees
90 degree stem[zero angle] mounts up 17 degrees, and a 6 degree stem is at 23 degrees
