converted: 90mm stem w/ 10 degree +/- and 31.8mm clamp
Stock stem fit good. New stem fits good as well. Very comfortable (without elbows locked out) on tops, hoods and drops.
Next problem?

That may be comfortable but from looking at it and the saddle height, the reach looks way huge in comparison, or your seat is too low for your inseam/leg length.

The seat post could be slightly higher. Still adjusting that with the sag of the suspension seat post. This bike is a 19 inch. I wasn't going to get a 17 inch with a flag pole mounted in the seat tube.
