I use a converter on a bike I run. At the time, I was experiencing a bit of lower back pain. I flipped the stem to give me a more elevated position on the bike. Result - decreased back pain! I'm old enough to value comfort.
Try and obtain a 3t or cinelli 25.8/26.0 stem to fit the converter. Generally speaking these are slimmer, more muted and crucially do not detract too much from the aesthetic appearance od skinny tubed steel frames.
I would have no objection to using the same set up again -it works.

What are people's thoughts on ahead converters? I could do with some wider bars on my winter bike, I know they aren't pretty but nor is the bike!
