maybe people have said the same about custom frames having inline seatposts. The joys of the internet.

I have a similar feeling about short stems, not based really on my own experience, but on a lot of reading, i.e. I prefer 100mm or more if at all possible.

That being said, I don't think Harry would've suggested a 90mm it if it would handle like shit.

As for inline vs setback, I don't have a preference either way (one of the few areas I don't!).

Understandably so when you look at the pro with 130mm stem all over, however a shorter stem won't make the bike twitchy, just make it feel twitchy (if that make sense).

I reckon once you ride it, you forget about the whole nonsense of the 90mm stem.
