100mm Nitto UI5GX stem with Nitto RB021 42cm bullhorns
The bullhorns are one 90% of the time for normal riding but on special days or days at the track....
110mm Nitto UI5GX stem with Nitto CroMo B123 42cm track drops (great bars!)
(110mm Ritchey WCS 4axis on Ritchey WCS Aluminum Logic drops, 42cm, on the roadie)

I ride whichever stem length/rise combo that gives me a suitable fit.

90mm 15° rise Salsa on Nitto bullhorns. Thinking of going 0° rise though, I feel like I want to be just a little lower and I don't like having a giant stack of spacers on top waiting to crush my genitals.

adjustable.
think i've got things pretty dialled in at about 80mm with bullhorns.
used to be 100mm with cut down bullhorns, and that was a bit too squashed.

Okay, here's why I asked the question. In January I had a 50cm frame built up and I had a 110mm Nitto stem I purchased for the build. Without looking at me the bike teck told me the stem would be way too long for me. I went ahead and purchased an 80mm stem that I really like. Now I have the Nitto laying around and I was thinking of using on my fixie. I just wondered if the guy thought I was using the wrong size frame or something. Something like, if you're using a stem over 100mm your frame/top tube is too short. Follow me?

I don't feel like I know you people well enough to answer that.
