Yeah I'm gonna get some inline brake levers for the flats as well. I ride in the city so I would spend about half the time in the drops when the road is clear, but when I'm in traffic I would want to stay up and having those extra levers would be great if I need to do an OS stop.

Just for curiosity's sake, what qualifies as a short reach, tall stem. Minimum reach I can see is 90mm. What is a tall stem?

Also, most of the stems I see don't have the little slot for the brake cable so I can use my cantilever brakes.
