There are pages after pages on such builds on a thread I started years ago. There are a lot of stem options, some have a substantial angled rise. I can't stress top tube length enough. Various models from the same year and same brand can have wide variation of top tube length.
This Cimarron is using the stock stem. I have used a threadless adapter and a steep angled stem on other builds.
My go to Schwinn Cimarron LE.
Can't have just one Cimarron.
