Anyone got a handle bar stem I can borrow to try out for length?? Needs to be for OS handlebars and 1 inch forks and anything small 50mm 60mm 70mm is good :D Just trying to find what length I need

50 - 70mm sounds awfully small Aimee, the bike sounds a bit big for you? I had a 80mm and I found the steering weird. I have some stems but most are over 90mm and none oversized. Bummer, I will hunt around and see if I have any others.

At the moment I managed to source a 80 mm stem which seems okay so fr. Yeah the bike is a little big for me but I really like it and just plan to ride it as a commuter. If it is just way too uncomfortable etc then I'll hang it on the wall :cry:

You might be able to fit smaller handlebars or perhaps move the seat forward a little

yeah apparently you can get a compact type bar with shorter reach?
