First I want to excuse myself for my deficit in english bicycle terms. Therefore I will describe my intention with some degree of redundancy, in order not to be misunderstood.
In 2001 I've got a Scalpel Lefty, which I still love much. But now I want to get the handlebar 50 mm higher. My current stem/handlebar combination is from Syntace. That combinations stem is already very steep/high (vertical height from the lower end of the stem to the axis of the handlebar 125 mm), so I guess it's impossible to find something even higher.
Ideally, I would prefer to heighten my handlebar only 20 mm, but I don't see a reasonable technical path toward that. Therefore I'm now seeking a "stem extender" (right?). My stems inner diameter measures the Cannondale typical 1.56 inch, and its height is 50 mm. So I guess there is no other way than to buy a stem extender for another 50 mm. There are lots of stem extenders on the market, but I found none für the Cannondale 1.56 inch diameter.
Does anybody know, whether such an extender exists, and where I could get it? For safety reasons it should be as sturdy as possible. And ideally it would just have a length of 100 mm, 2 x 50 mm. I'm aware, that very likely I cannot get both wishes fulfilled. But if it's higher than 100 mm, I might try to cut the unwanted additional height.
Can anybody help me? Would be really great!
