All,
I trust the 50+ gang for good advice and I could use some ideas on a stem for my R500T Cannondale. It currently has the stock Coda stem, and drop bars, with a traditional roadie "drop" angle. I have seen many bikes with stems that are angled upward and still use drop bars, whick I want to keep. As I age all of the back and abdominal surgeries make the young riders' position (and the more agile seasoned riders too) somewhat painful. Even when I am holding the top flats or on the hoods I could use a slightly higher position.

Bike fit is good for me and I set up the saddle height, level and fore/aft position by using Lennard Zinn's book. I just need a slight adjustment. Any recomendations in a stem are greatly appreciated.

Bill
