Been riding a 51cm Salsa Casseroll for a year with all stock components. I recently rode my ladies' bike which was a little smaller and I loved the way I didn't have to stretch to reach the brakes on the handlebar, and in fact hadn't noticed i was stretching to reach all this time. Its not uncomfortable and I'm not getting a smaller bike anytime soon, so I tried to raise my handlebars on mine to get my brake levers closer, didn't work. Started to look at aftermarket stems which is where i'm at now. Is it advisable to get a stem with more of an angle to get the brake levers closer to me? Any suggestions on one?
