I Know I keep on about it- But the OCR was the first road bike I bought. It was just to see if I liked road riding or not but that bike taught me a lot. First thing was that I do not like riding with my head between my knees. The back would not take it- and the neck and the shoulders. Analysed it a bit and I got a stem with a steep rise to bring the bars level with the saddle. On the comfort stakes- This was all I needed. Attachments are of the Bike as new from the shop- up against the bike shed- And the one up against the garage is how it is with the high rise stem.

But all that has changed- Different bike- Different Geometry and Boreas has the bars 3" below the saddle and that is comfortable and efficient.

While I was sorting the Bars on the OCR- My LBS suggested borrowing an adjustable stem to find out where I want the bars. Didn't try it- But that is what I would use an adjustable stem for. To find out where I want the bars to be- And then get a rigid stem to those dimensions.

Edit- Sorry about the double posting but it will not delete and I am experiencing a few problems at present on the Computer.
