Ok, I've put another stem in, shorter reach but no taller (just working with what I have in the basement) and some Randonuer bars that I happened to have, that gives me a couple of CMs on the height, and I've been wanting to try them anyway.
Now I'm snowed in so all I can do is stare at the tattered old bar tape. I'll wrap it eventually but I want to get all my experamenting done first.
I guess my lesson here is to go with the prettyest parts in the bin if there's a blizzard coming.
