  1. My wife's pink-and-black bike is coming along nicely. The pink
    streamers, pink seat, pink seat bag and pink bottle cage are great. She
    requested a more upright position so I've ordered a Nitto Albatross 56
    cm CrMo Handlebar
    (http://www.rivbike.com/webalog/handlebars_stems_tape/16122.html), and I
    have pink brake cable housings on hand. Couldn't find any pink SIS
    shifter housings, so we're going black there.

    The handlebar stem on the bike is pretty long, and I know from my
    classic old mid-60's three-speed Austrian-made Sears bike that
    swept-back handlebars don't have particularly long stems. I'd like to
    get a shorter stem. The bike's headset is described as "Intellaset, 1
    1/8” integrated threadless, alloy cap, alloy cone spacer."

    Can someone point me to a suitable stem?

  2. While not extremely elegant, a shorter 90mm adjustable threadless
    rotated all the way up will give you both a short extention and a
    goodly bit of height.

    or get a nonadjustable 90mm with a very steep angle--which will reduce
    the reach considerably:
