Ahead stem all the way.
Again, faux quill >>>>

↑↑You're right, but the bar-stem is still shit because it's replicating a 73° stem when it would have been better to have taken the direct route from the upper headset bearing to the bar centre.

I remember way back when this was first posted online hoping it wont end up color coded "tastily" by some clueless rich guy

Where as your qualification in 'most suitable finishing kit selection for somebody elses bike' from LFGSS University puts you in the perfect position to judge it right? :]

dude is from bike porn thread on lfgss.com.
they know their shit out there.

Slight allowance for aesthetics ;)

Otherwise known as the "NAHBS wank fodderly" in true mdcc style.

fuck moi, i've forgotten how much i hate you x

Better?

I love 73 degree stems, but the extra weight really depresses me.

fuck moi..

Ce^, uniquement.

That feather is lovely.

If I try to put myself in the mind of the customer. I'm thinking "I want something special for cruising around the country roads, with a certain balance of comfort and ride. That me me smile as much to look at, as to ride"

I would'nt be thinking about the fractional increase in flex the stem/bar design allows. If I was, I'd have be throwing my money at an all together different bike.

My own Fatbike has been but on the back burner, waiting for frame delays, and funds. This has made made me want to speed things up a touch.

So nice.

Phwoar. That. This. The... But...

I have been looking into the whole gumwall clinchers situation - seems like the options are:

Challenge criterium - mixed reviews
Vittoria SC evo's - pricey and nice but seem to be for racing
Micheline Pro Race 3's - come in 'ivory' sidewalls, which is near-ish to gum. Mixed reviews re: their puncture protection.. although you can get a pair for the price of 1 Vittoria, so maybe worth a punt.
Veloxflex - expensive, cut up quickly and very little puncture proctection

We should add the Deda Tre Corsa RS to this list.

I'll vouch for Pro3 Race tyres. I run them all summer on my track and on my road bike. I love them. Not gumwall though.

panaracer paselas come in 23 but they are a bit tractory

@Dan.
I have Veloflex (pave/master) front and rear on the fixed. Which has seen some pretty nasty conditions, rough mountain roads, and all while carrying a 85Kg lump.

They grip no matter what.
They are uber smooth.
They are light.
They have lasted the the claimed kms well.
They have only had a single pucture each.

I'll be replacing them like for like when they eventually die.

For sale in classified, I have a serious lust for this bike, perfect size, great lugs, Campag gruppo, want want want

Anybody averaging less than 20mph will be faster on 25s, assuming they clear the frame.

Jesus approves? ;) I'm in

I don't think its a repost, please don't shout at me!

something funny going on with that chain....

Seeing more and more lo-pro road-bikes with their rear brake positioned like that Priori has... Why?

And @Dan, i vote Michelin Dynamic Classic for gumwall clinchers.

nice frame. for an alloy, that is.
