You are more than welcome, Joel. So, in a nutshell, you are trying to find a way to get your handlebar higher ? Right ?
After a long research on the internet, I found that long quill stem. I was and remain very pleased with the outcome. I just couldn't cross the threadless stem bridge as stubborn as I am from being old school. My bike would not look right. Let me know what your decision choice is. Sincerely, Kim.
