I have both North roads and Kalloy on all three of my urban bikes and have no more pain in
my shoulders,arms, wrist & back. These stem run about $20 so it's a well worthwhile investment.

As an example place to buy.......

I might consider that, Tightwad. Right now, the very short stem I now have (that are used on Dutch bikes) seems promising. It's way, way shorter than the stock Breezer stem. Only time will tell.
