Not sure why someone is telling me to lower my saddle height. No one has a clue how tall I am. Troll? The saddle doesn't have much of an angle to it (if at all). It just looks like it from the angle this picture was taken from.
Are you are suggesting I get a different stem instead of changing the headset? I think putting in a non-cartridge headset would improve the bike anyway. Get rid of that extra steerer length too - way more than I'd ever need. And then if I did ever want to decrease the saddle-to-bar distance then I can get a stem which rises.
Yeah, I like the paintjob but at the end of the day it's only the image of the bike. Raw looks equally 'cool'.
Nice build, Phil.
Another point to mention is that by putting in a non-cartridge headset you would also make the geometry of the bike ever-so-slightly more aggressive - which would be nice.
