> > Not at all. Thanks for asking. > I need a really short reach to the bars - drops or otherwise. For instance: I use a 6cm extension Tech Deluxe stem on my Sam with Noodle drops. Perfect. Love it. *As for the Bleriot:* Right now, I have an 8cm Tallux with Albas on my Bleriot. Very short by RBW standards. But still feel the need to get closer. Perhaps the 55 frame is too big for me. Bars are all the way up. Saddle in KOPS. So I can't really get any closer. I hesitate to go 6cm extension Technomic stem with Albas on it for fear of being too close effecting the handling somehow. But of course, plenty of Alba-like Raleighs from the 50's and 60's had stems with virtually no extensions on them. So it may work. Also, the two people at RBW I have communicated with in the past had very negative responses at the mention of using short extension stems. I don't know why they are aghast at them, since RBW is reputed to be about function. This makes me feel like I am doing something wrong with their bikes, or something is wrong with me. I don't get it. Some people just have shorter trunks and arms than others. Makes me hesitate going to a 6cm stem extension. Maybe it will be great?? Who knows? But if I can't work it out, I thought about maybe downsizing to the 53.
