JWestland-
I briefly had that stem combined with a 50mm riser bar on my old dale...
Yep :-)
-
The medium size was quite stacky which meant the large and XL sizes weren't so desperately in need of correction through bonkers stems and riser bars - but generally if you were super tall you could be accommodated by doing just that.
It's the small sizes that suffered the most as you can see, but even then a 17 deg to flat with a flat bar it would be pretty normal. Or you'd just buy a different bike.

Yes - all sizes had the same headtube length.
Which is why there are some wild Headshok and Lefty stems out there.
