DrIsotope,
Thanks. I have used this some over the past few days looking at different stem options. Would the most rational approve at this time be to look for a combination that would provide a rise in height, which keeping the reach as close to what it is now? Looking at the geometry of the trekking bars I am thinking it may be. If I am seeing things right, the rear portion of the bars would be closer to me while the forward portion would be similar to where the flat bars currently sit.
