Even if you go custom (or production) this is a very low cost experiment to ensure your next bike is what really works for you. There's no other realistic way I could ride a Supersix...which I really enjoy doing  |
20 years ago my lbs did the same kind of thing for me. He put some kind of head tube extender in, then put a stem on which angles up like yours. I was coming off two spine surgeries. Worked fine. I adapted to handling fine. Since then, I am much more limber but that was a low cost fix. At the time that was my 1st "real " road bike. I did not know any different, just knew it worked.
