Ha ha. The long stem is to get the saddle-bar drop on my Raleigh to <10cm, which even I can see is too much.
Currently:
They only made these in 53, 58 and some 60+ model. No idea why, but 58 would be too big for a tourer.
And yes, I see what you're all saying. I'm an idiot. Too many reddit bikes with negative saddle-bar drop has obviously affected my mind so significantly that I have a terrible reaction to it as soon as I see it, regardless of the intended use/practicality.
