What length/rise/quill extension do you need?

Posted: Thu May 21, 2009 1:46 pmRise is no issue, because I usually like 'em all the way down so I can get my hipster crouch on. Reach: 90ish, shorter is good but not much longer.
Something in the 74degree range is ideal, and anything more than 90degrees just looks silly on a road bike.
If you don't have anything like that handy, no worries, I'd happily buy one.
I'm mainly trying to find out what is the stiffest replacement for my wimpy/creaky old SR.
thanks
