ive been going around flipping stems on my bikes lately, and here is the result on my flexy buddy, the Masi.
i also tried lowering the stem, as you can see. ive ended up with more saddle-bar drop than my felt f3. i took it for a test ride, and i like the position. only problem is that in the drops, the brooks saddle cracks me in the Tom Boonen. maybe i can tip the nose down a tick.

question: do you see anything objectively wrong with the setup? i defer to your collective experience.
