It's all downhill from here, except for the uphills.

What's wrong with flipping the stem? I know its aesthetically better when the top tube and the stem are parallel. But is there anything else to this? Negative stem + lots of spacers are even less aero, weaker and flexier than positive stem and less/no spacers.

The 25mm rise bar takes care of a lot of those issues.
I actually like the look of the riser bar. Main deal is computer placement. But I also prefer flipped stems to spacers, so what do I know.

The Specialized riser bar is supposed to compensate for the -17d stem. The -17d stem is for aerodynamics (smaller frontal profile).
Looks like a computer mount might be a problem on these bars.
