Thanks for posting Cross. I'm an older rider with a neck problem that forces me to have a positive rise on my stem(s). And I agree, negative stem rise snobbery is a phenomena that seems to rear its head the moment a picture is posted with anything other then a stem pointed earthward. If I was in my 20's again and more pretzel like in my flexibility, I might be jumping on the same bandwagon as the stem rise tongue cluckers, but since I can't roll back time, I'll just use double spacers and point my stem skyward and enjoy the ride . . .
