I agree with the previous comments on trying things out via adapter; I also agree it's a great looking bike and a beauty photo! I would place my bet that you'll find a 11 or 12cm stem to be right. I know that's massively longer than what you have right now, but the Losco indeed comes back a

Hello JS, In this case, switching to the losco bar which have no forward sweep and have a lot of back sweep, it maybe a good idea to follow Will's advice to use an adapter stem, 1 to 1 1/8 and then try different thread less stems until you dial in the extension to your liking. Details were in
