Hallo
Just had the same frame built up and did my first ride on Sunday. However although the bike went great I now have a very painful shoulder from the riding position. I am a woman and found the handlebars too low. I was interested to see that you included a nitto technomic stem to raise the handlebars. I have just ordered the dirt trap nitto stem which has a rise in it but wonder how you find the technomic stem as I wasn't sure which to go for? Do you find the longer stem alters the handling of the bike at all? I have also got a 21 1/2 inch frame and I am 5 foot 7 but have been riding a mtb recently so I think it was too big a change! Would be grateful for your advice and thoughts.
Lorna
