Ted, Patrick, If you try this setup, please post some pictures, I would love to see it. I think it would look “right” with a zero rise stem as well, you would just have more quill showing, more of a traditional look. The one thing that makes them feel right is the angle of the bars…my iPhone app reports that mine are at -15 degrees
