It's a Origin8 "Classique"
There's also this one, which I probably would have gone with if I'd seen it first. Looks a bit more retro
this sounds like a great way to get some very expensive dental work
Buy an origin8 removable-faceplate riser quill stem (if it's a 25.4mm clamp on the bars) and a cheap cable hanger for the brake
Well for starters it's definitely a flat bar road bike, so it's not really made to be upright, but I know what you mean. The stock stem is still just way too short.
Here's the stem I went with:

If I remember, I'll take a pic of the bike with it installed so you can visualize the difference. It's significantly upright compared to the stock stem and it's double bolted. The only thing that sucks is you gotta twist the grips off one side of the bars to swap it.
And I dunno about you, but those stock grips were just way too small and I despise anything but lock ons. I went with these for my grips because they were white and matched the bike:

I also plan on getting a new saddle, but I've already been through 3 and can't find anything I like yet. Have you found a saddle that works for you?
