However, I would still like for the bars to be higher than my steerer tube allows. I have an adjustable height stem to try, but I haven't done that yet. I've been reading about how Rivendell fits their bikes and according to them I would be on a 56. I'm on a 52 right now! This would allow for even higher bars and a more upright position. Bottom line is that it did help, but it could still be better. Yes, the short stem helped in terms of reach. However, I would still like for the bars to be higher than my steerer tube allows.

I'm actually contemplating getting a shorter stem on my 56 lht because I feel a bit too stretched out. Let me know if this helped you. Hey, any report on if this made a difference?
