Welcome to the Bombadil club (in particular, the parallel-TT bombadil club). Between the dyno-hub and fat tires it sounds like you're going to end up with a sweet setup.
As far as stems go, I have a Nitto dirt-drop 100mm on mine, which gives a horizontal extension/reach equivalent to about an 8mm 73deg stem I believe. It's very comfortable and puts the bars in a good spot. http://www.flickr.com/photos/43029...@n07/5162347005/ If you're anything like me, you'll love the bombadil and will end up having to force yourself to ride your other bikes sometimes, out of guilt.
