Thanks. How will I find a longer stem? What do I have to feed to Google to find the right one?
And is it possible to slam it more than it is now?
You won't be able to buy that exact type of stem in a web shop because it is a Felt OEM stem, which are only supplied with Felt bikes. Besides, it's not a particularly attractive looking stem, so you'd be as well going for something a bit nicer IMO.

Why that stem? You can buy any standard stem on the market which is longer. Remove spacers until you get proper handlebar height.
If you don't understand how, go to a bike shop!

The carbon fiber clad 'Time' topcap in your picture is an aluminium tube. It closes the steerer tube and provides counterforce to the stem clamping on the steerer tube (see no 6).
You can reuse this with almost all ahead stems. It looks like you need a 1⅛" stem (any you like) in a longer size than your current stem (size of current one is probably printed or etched on it somewhere)
Edits to fix spelling and sizing mistake.

Or will any regular stem fit?
[/quote]It is a regular stem. A-head type. Just need to confirm the diameter at the headset end. Almost certain it'll be 1 1/8.

TBH, if you just look for a "stem" you'll get 100s of them
Thanks everyone. It finally makes sense for me now. Especially the picture from Nezz0r helped.
