Any question answered...

I have these, really narrow compared to jones. Wouldn't recommend

need to measure my current bars..

Best readily available frame for a new first time fixed build with a budget of around £700 for the full build? Looking at dolan pre-cursas, aventon cordobas and such, would that be a good starting point? Thanks! :)

The alpkit ones are a winner then

1.5" steerer stems.

Any nice ones available?

And by nice I mean light and not fugly...

Not keen on Cannondale's own?

It's not a thing of beauty really is it?

@Tenderloin what was the one you got that you had to shim down? that was ok looking

Giant OD2 and acetone.

Are you sure they are 1.5"?

If so they are a contender, sure.

not a thing of beauty really is it?

True. Not really seen much in the mtb world that's not beefcake.

Well there's the OPI stem....

And we are back to square one.

Had one on my Canyon. Is 1 1/4 and 1.5 the same thing?

Looks like it's this

or an X4.

Is 1 1/4 and 1.5 the same thing?

1.5" = 1.5"

1 1/4 = 1.25"

Do you even...?

Jeez some nice parts on that for the price... I really want to build my own from scratch though, mostly to learn / get into it a bit more as i'm currently clueless and think i'd enjoy it. I already have a langster to ride, it'd be more for a project with the intention of building something i'd want to ride when finished :)

ugh soz

Syntace Force 1.5?

Nice one, appreciate the suggestions! Was thinking the aventon seemed decent anyways especially for that price. Kinda into the yellow frame! I reckon I'll either go for one of them or one of the 8bars :)
