I actually have a stem you can have that does that, it’s adjustable and for 25.4 bars.

@yokes I get what you mean, use the bars to rise.. but even with them you reach a limit, and with the goofy bmx bars right there, what if I dont want my bars 90cm wide?

@MCamb, thats very kind of you - whats the rise like from center to center? - to put the larger question into perspective, I've got a £10, no brand quill stem here, which, at its maximum point raises the bars 22cm. And you can buy longer ones even, cheap as chips.

Carbon forks with a threaded steel steerer tube? is that even a thing?

Yes, it's definitely a thing. Well, it was a thing. Not sure whether anybody is still making one, so you'll be going back in time. Do you really want a 20 year old carbon fibre fork that's probably on it's third owner already?

Wound Up at least are still making them.

Wound Up

Odd that I would have missed that 😉

Removed decals from these FSA bars and painfully hand sanded the paint off my carbon forks

You missed a spot

Yes thank you. It’ll be covered

It’ll be uncovered

The Yates finally running.
There were grand plans of modern silver Italian shifting, but in the end swapping parts, fresh wheels and finding a skinny 26mm ahead stem was all that happened.

No worries mate happy to help

You used to be more helpful. Now you just troll me wherever I go

Trying to get a ghetto 1x10 drivetrain a bit smoother in the big cogs (got a narrow wide up front in the outer position of a double. Doesn’t fit in the inner). I’ve put another spacer behind the cassette, which has gained me 1mm. Is there anything else I can do that’s going to make things less click-ey when I’m pushing hard in the lower gears? Or is there a relevant thread as I couldn’t find one.

That’s a sweet purp

Compact geo with skinny tubes, nice. Shimano is perfectly fine, but that heel run on the cranks>>>>

Ahhhh! Nice one, cheers

I swear I've never seen a set of 5800 cranks without heel rub.

Snap! Love that colour.

It is also quite sparkly, but on first glance just a dark blue.

@Lolo yes, the thin tubes steel forks and modern geo made me buy it.
Forgot to say thanks to @dglshrn, it is a great ride!

And heel rub seems to be a feature of budget black cranks. Even makes me think about heli tape.

Yeah! Lovely paint and a lovely frame. Glad to see it built up.

The colour made me do it, its very good!
