Does the new stem meet the length you had set on the adjustible?
More weight painted? Not if I strip it, and have it Ceramikoated!

I haven't analyzed the length and rise yet. Its a skosh closer in to the seatpost than the Calfee at its shortest, as evidenced by the Garmin 705 on the handlebar not fitting between the bar and the saddle anymore.



Edit:
This is what it had been like, with the stem all the way in. Looks to be up to an inch further in. Stoker may not tolerate this. I think that when I say something is more aero, she hears it as fiendishly contorted.
