Easier because I know the bars would be too far even if I dropped to 80mm (30mm back) and that’s going to make the handling more twitchy. I want to keep it longer for a reason, plus, it’s good practise for kiddo to swap my bars...

I'd get a shorter stem with some rise, lose a few spacers. But that's just me.
Was eyeing up Surlys today in Keep Pedalling, Manchester. I miss my Cross Check, there I said it, I've sold the wrong Surly.

Short stem = quicker handling, less stable feel.

Riser stem is an absolute no for me.

Less forward sweep bar, a tad of rise. Job done.
