I can't see the picture right now, but from what I recall when I did see it, I believe there was some rise to the stem... Some people don't like the look of a stem angled up on a road bike, so you may want to check out the Nitto Technomic stems, that are taller, but provide the stem angle that looks more traditional for a road bike. They tend to be a little expensive, but well worth it as far as quality.

Once you figure out what reach you need on your stem, you may consider posting in the ISO/For Trade thread over in Classic & Vintage (it is one of the sticky threads) to see if anyone has a stem they would be willing to swap with you. If that is the case, it will only cost you postage.
