What I'm after is:
1&1/8 threadless
Black and black
Drop at least 70mm, not 'anatomic'
A plain regular bend looks nicer and is more comfortable.
Max width 40cm ctc, 38 preferred.
I ride 38cm drops most of the time and want to match what I'm very happy with. I'm afraid this bit might be tricky.
Stem angle 75 degrees or less.
Stems that point upwards look shit. Should be horizontal or downwards. Especially with a horizontal or downwards angled top tube, as in this case.
Not decided on length yet, probably 110mm.
No carbon and no chromoly.
Sort of feel I want to leave out carbon on this build; a lot of it is quite pricey and alloy is stronger. Chromoly is too heavy, obviously. That said, the rims may end up carbon.
Less than £100 each.
No clamp diameter preference, just a combination to fit above specs.
43mm of steerer to hold onto.
Ideas?
