Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Cannondale 3-D Forged stem (need length/rise specs)

I have an '03 Cannondale R800 Triple and I'm having issues with my reach (too extended). To avoid the expense of a new fork with a longer steerer tube, I'd like to try out a different stem beforehand.

The first question is about the current length/rise of my stock stem, the so-called Cannondale 3-D Forged 31.8
(Measuring from the center of the steer tube to the center of the handlebars yields about 120mm.) I just need to know the rise on this stem so I can know where to start at my LBS.

...and it's my understanding that the '31.8' means my bars are that diameter, so I need to look for an 'oversize' stem.

Some notes to prevent the generic stem-related comments:
It's currently setup "upright" so if I flip it, it'll make my reach further.
Currently, the stem is as high as it can go on the steerer tube (see stock pic).

My cannondale stem had the rise and length written on it. I have a 05 r1000 56cm and came with a 5 degree, 110mm stem.
