I flipped it. Again.
When I when in for my "fitting", I specifically asked the guy to flip my stem up so that I can ride more upright. After 800 miles, it still feels great. I can ride for a long time and my back doesn't hurt. Unfortunately, I've decided it looks like $hit (a hybrid with drops). I've succumbed to OCP thinking again. So, I'm going to flip it back and see how it feels. At least, it'll look "right".

RoboCheme,
A pic of your bike would help for us to give any suggestions.
Although, if you want, just flip up the stem when you ride. When you spend a weekend posing, just flip it back down.

Now, a little less worry about the stem, and perhaps people won't notice that it is up if they're looking at YOU instead because you look so OCP!
