by now I'm sure most here have seen the media onslaught of the Bmorebikes raised reversed stem.
The "Raised Reversed Stem" broke my brain. It might be genius.
I think this guy is on to something with this stem.

but I think he took it too far (it looks like a teeth smasher)
I think he's right on the bar position needing to come up and back. bikes are long and slack now, like moto almost and this is how bars are positioned on motos.
and looking around, it seems the thought was considered before, Mondraker had a 10mm and even a 0mm offset when they started to slacken out... and I think it was the right move that for some reason didn't catch on.
I honestly wish I could find one of those old mondraker ones to try. I can't help but feel it would bridge the gap between the 45mm I'm running now and the over the top one above.
