I did consider riser bars but the original quill had a fairly long anterior reach I wanted shorter. See photo of the original quill (below). The new quill is only ~2.5 cm offset.



Original bike quill.

This is the stock photo of what I replaced the original quill with. 280 mm. total length. It gave me about another 3.5" higher and less anterior reach.
