Gt lts 3 stem too low

[Gtlts]

Hi, looking for advice on best way to rise up the handle bars on my newly purchased gt while keeping the bike looking decent, seems to be lots of bits you can buy online to do the job

Simplest options are:

Stem with higher rise (avoid adjustable ones as they look rubbish imho).

Riser bars if you don't have them, or bars with higher rise if already risers.

Factor in possibly having to replace cable outers and inners with longer ones.

I agree the adjustable ones Don t look the best

Would need a few inches of a lift, would the straight extension and using the original stem and bars do the trick? Had a search and didn t see any stems with much of a rise

I do have a profile stiffy stem in black that has a decent amount of rise if you go down the new stem route.
