back in the 90’s I did thousands of miles with a flexstem and loved it, it took the shoulder jar out and made stretching out to double bar ends quite comfortable. you get used to a bit more bounce when out of the saddle very quickly.

sorry but gloves, grips etc.. are not the same, softer tyres equals pinch flats so I rode hard rubber.

I always wanted to try the allsop softride bikes with the laminated beam..

In reply to Victor King. Thanks - I hadn't seen that before! If you get one, let me know how it goes.

While researching for an adjustable handlebar system, I cane across EZRIDE. This looks like it could alleviate my back problems as they claim to be adjustable on the fly and offers an almost 90degree travel. Would add some weight to the bicycle but right now I am looking for something to ease my back and neck problems and less concerned about the weight.

Suspension stems are nothing new. And, oddly enough, they never catch on. There are simpler, cheaper, and lighter ways yo get more comfort on the handlebars; such as fatter tires, padded grips, or gloves.
