black spacers pls

Nah too predictable and would look right ;)

Nah, just need to flip the stem upside down.

Stem with rise looks horrible ... This a wee bit less so :)

hmm i just never like the junction between stem/spacers and oversized head tubes. looks weird.. cool bike otherwise tho ;)

Yes it is indeed a fugly junction .. Having a 120mm head tube doesn't help as most medium sized cx frames from everyone else are 140-150mm or so ?

Guess the chinese like short head tube :)

i'm not sure what the correct term is but you can get headsets which have a sloped top bit, sort of eases into the spacers. can make it a little less severe.

Frame actually came with a headset with conical top spacer which as you mention eases the transition but it left a 5mm gap :(

Reckon they sent the wrong top cap or something but yes I may look into one in future once I'm bored with the African neck ring look ;)

I like this build and the explicit self(irony) skillz written.

Cheers I opted out of the easy option to rip off any number of big name brands and give the bike it's own quirky name :)

thats brilliant!

First thing that I pictured upon looking at it :)

Would you mind if I asked where you ordered your rather nice carbon cx frame from, and also if it's still going strong? Thanks

Got it from these guys

Yes still going strong 2 years in :) Been regularly thrashed and done the odd race all good .:
