Riser bars and long stem

I use 130mm 15o stem with risers, but then im...

A. Very tall on a 19" frame
B. Very old with a bad back
C. Dont care what others think about my bike

If you fall into any of the above ...go for it.

Ps probably will add bar ends too, as they stop my hands going numb on 40 mile + rides.
 
I'm very much in the camp of short stem with riser bars every time, always have been, but more recently, as my comfort has become more important than simply looking way cool! I have realised that a short stem not only looks cool, but also brings the bar nearer to you, thus sitting you up, add to the that a riser bar and the upright position is improved even more. That's how I see it anyway.
