It is amazing how much difference a stem can make.

This frame is not small, it is 21", but the geometry of the Voyageur is kinda odd so the head tube is short. I bought this bike a few years ago, had a rack and bag on the front, so the technomic stayed, but it just hung in the garage. I moved the parts to another bike, was planning on selling the voyageur and thought the technomic alone looked goofy. I found some old dirt drop stems for cheap on CL, and thought it would look better to a potential buyer. I took a quick ride after swapping the stems, hence the half wrapped bar, and now I second guessing my original intention to sell it. It definitely looks better, and it feels better to ride with the longer stem.
