As long as it does'nt look like this she'll be reet.

Edit: MTB's please.

Current MTB is erring slightly small for me (the L would have been too big) and has a 90mm / 6 degree 25.4. I'm upgrading to 31.8, hence the longer stem.....

cant find pics of a 120mm stem on the hardtail up there

Though both of those above were in their 'long' setting with a 105, rest of the time I had a 90mm's on them, before keeping the 90mm's on all the time. Shorter and the reach wasnt really long enough for decent climbing

Are you really buying a stem depending on how it looks?

120mm on my hard tail

Bit long and I might change it if I get round to it but I like it more than I thought I would. It was new with 80% off so I bought it
EDIT: don't know why it doesn't work.can you post from fb with public privacy?

Surely it doesn't matter what it looks like its all about having the correct "cock pit" setup... stop giggling at the back.

Long and low, has to be - I'm old-fashioned about stems.
