OK, you could do some really ridiculous conversion to a threadless stem, then extend the heck out of it. Still doubt yu will get five inches. You could put ape hangers on it, that will give you more than 5 inches. Or go DUI style.
To each their own.
That's just what he said, not sure how much I'll need! I tried it out for a minute, couldn't quite reach the brake levers because my arms were angled down too much. May be able to lower the seat and raise the stem to get a better angle. Hoping not to have to do anything extreme, although I do have access to a machine shop!
