It's becoming more aesthetic as time goes on and I realise how fun it is to ride and swap in nicer parts! I did prefer the position of the previous stem somewhat but the colour was a bit off so I thought I'd switch to black. This one is kind of nice as I can ride the tops for a very upright position and the drops on the road. But a bit ugly.
Black fork would be great but I haven't seen one cheap in the few days I've been looking. Saw a great one yesterday: lugged crown, lowrider mounts, correct thread length, nice and light... But it was 1" 1/8 unfortunately. Maybe I should buy it anyway and sell it.
I'm thinking £10 for a black seatpost next and a ~£25 11-42. With a black fork as well it wouldn't be totally ugly.
