One thing to bear in mind is that because of the head angle, as you raise the stem, the bars get closer to the saddle. So if you go with a significantly taller stem and make it shorter, you might wind up too cramped.
And a BEAUTIFUL stem on top of everything else. They have that perfect silvery sheen. Not chrome shine, and not dull anodized looking. I had one on a Tesch S-22 I used to own. I sold the bike with the stem on it, and regretted it ever since. If the bike was a larger frame I'd probably still own it.,,,,BD
