Stem worked out then... just!

Ah yes. Thank you @Scilly.Suffolk. There was just enough steerer to get the ITM stem on safely. Thanks for your help. :)

Beautiful paint

nice, although tbh i preferred it in black mode..but this is indeed way more classic and suits it well.
what is the wheelset?

Picked this up for £30, winter project.
Going to strip the paint, give it some sick fades and run it 1x9 or 1x10.
I'll need to get some wheels and possibly new brakes.

pics broken for me

Today I laced up the wheelset for my new build.
Being #ontrend for 2014/15 I laced 29er rims to a track rear hub and a XT front disc hub.
Going to run fixed gear with a front disc brake.

Please excuse the poor image quality.

Which rims did you go for?

I liked the black to, but it was that way for a while and i can always change it back.

Gran Compe rear hub, Miche front, 32h TB14's sprayed black.

Ryde Taurus 19.
19mm internal width, about 26mm at the widest point on the outside.
more info here: http://www.ryde.nl/nl/producten?product=39
they look and feel decent and were quite cheap.
The rear hub is Novatec, the front Shimano XT.
Spokes are DT Competition and nipples brass.

can anyone help me please?
I am building wheels up from scratch. Would I be better off with a high profile rim, or a low profile rim?
I mostly cycle about town and some longer distances.
cheers

I'd go for either low (open pro's) or medium profile (archetype's). Both of them are bomb proof..

I had my eye on the archetypes, so that is what ill go with.
cheers

Getting there! Just need to swap in the fixed forks and a new chainset

Anyway, mini me and I are modifying hubs for the fbnpna.

That's a whole load of reach! What's the tyre clearance like?

Wish I had room for more bikes.

That Pre Cursa with the carbon rims is lovely.

I got to try out my new wheels at Herne Hill today.
