  • The Thomson X4 stem hadn't arrived from ebay 3 weeks after dispatch so I nicked my track champion's stem to get things going. I'm using narrow hussefelt risers I bought on here, I found short enough grips for them. I liked the way the circle on the Oreba stem matched up with the arrows on the risers:

    Locked out of my house last night, staring at the flower pots I saw a small package stuffed between them. My stem! The postman probably put them there and forgot to deliver a note.

    I threw on some flat pedals and straps and took it for a spin this morning.


    Rides really well and feels solid. I was surprised at how comfortable it is.

    To do/decisions:

    • Decide on a stem or keep the Thomson
    • Cut more of the steerer, slam it, get rid of the random silver spacers
    • Get mtb pedals
    • Decide on stripping the saddle or keeping it as it is (pretty worn)
    • Weigh it properly, see if I make my modest below 7.5kg guess
    • Take pictures on a real camera
