Love the upwrong bars, but that stem's gotta go!
Much too much reach.
Hey, you have to start somewhere! Besides, that is my GB stem with the recessed allen bolt. I paid 25 cents for it (with a set of bars and barcons) at a swap meet and I am going to use it!

The reason I used it is based on the measurements she was comfortable with on her old Raleigh. It had more upright ATB bars. I tried to maintain the distance she had before. Nothing is cast in stone, or wrapped in tape, so change is both possible and possibly good!
