Crap.....totally missed that stem Andycapp, thanks for the heads up though. Oh well, the wife seems to like the riser, so for now, I suppose I'll let her use it...
The hoods are servicable, I think I might take a little cleaner to them to get some of the sticky off, but no major rips or tears, so hopefully they'll last a bit.
Went with a pair of matching GPX pedals.
