My new stripper TT is definitely too aggressive geometry for my riding, and I've been wanting a flat bar anyway, but I wondered if anoyone has a suggestion on amore upright stem. That would make a huge difference when I put the flatbar on. Any ideas?

Bikes: Too many bikes, too little time to ride

you can look into riser bars or city bars like the cinelli valencia or the origin 8 space bar.
