Having discovered that the Salsa CroMoto stem on my Ritchey had been recalled - apparently shortly after I bought it 12 years ago!! - I spent a goodly chunk of last evening replacing the bars and stem. The Salsa stem was a 120mm, paired with a Salsa "Short and Shallow" bar with 82mm reach. The stem I replaced it with is the original 130mm Ritchey that came with the bike back in 1996, and I just happened to have a black SOMA Highway 1 with 75mm reach. I figured between the longer stem and shorter reach, I'd end up close to the same place. I set the brifters based on 'tips level with end of drops'. and pointed the drops midway between seat collar and brakes. That's the starting point...
