but I simply avoided the' I want a 9 pound bike' obsession..

for my much heavier bike I needed a taller stem and found a NL company BBB that made a shaft quill lining the Steel steerer, stem raiser
( the BBB BHP 20 7/8" & 21 1", is aluminum with a steel wedge bolt)

of course with such a light bike, its odd you don't want to do any safety checks before each, I assume, Race..

Should be about 10g.
