Finally, getting the fitment right meant a longer stem that would also be able to take the handlebars up for a more upright riding position (lower back also in agreement). Plus after reading about the Modolo stem issues this seemed a prudent change too. But, finding a black stem to do both?!The universe however provided this lovely NOS Specialized 120mm with lift mountain bike stem that was both black and beautiful (I wonder if Nitto was the manufacturer for Specialized as it has that lovely finish found on their products?) Added Cateye cloth bar tape and NOS Shimano 600 end plugs and we are done for now.
