Bikes: I have a red 88 Cannondale R800 Criterium still all original and in great shape. And my daily rider is my 80 somthing Black Ross Gran Tour Fixie with burgundy grips and saddle and black deep v rims. SHARP!

What stem length should I get?

Ok I'm 5'8", 31" inseam. I ride a 55cm frame and the stem I have now is 90mm long. I feel fine on this set up, no back or neck pain from the position. The stem I have now is a typical road style stem as far as angle goes. The Jaguar has a pretty steep drop, a 58 degree angle I believe. I plan on running a NITTO B201AA Riser bar and it has 50mm rise. I suppose it should compensate for the drop some. Now, will I need to get a different length stem or is 90mm sufficient?
