Tasty

Thanks.

Took it for a spin on the local velodrome, and much to my surprise I wasn't blazingly fast :)

You're selling it?!

Might do some winter consolidation, I have so much shit I just dont give the time of day...

This is where. A rare diamond in a lot of rough

Good gracious. Vnice

Anyone running a 28c Pasela on a 23mm rim?
I'd love to put it on the Goldsprint for a second to check if the front clearance is OK.. :)
Alternatively could you measure how wide and tall it sits?

The new TDF looks very good for the money. 2015 Genesis line up looks very good over all.

Does anyone have any nice, narrow-ish (28mm) mudguards they don't need (PDW, Specialized Plug and Play) before I buy some of the latter?

Due to the bad weather in the Netherlands I decided to build my Merckx up as a winter roadie, 2nd hand Veloce groupset, 3T set and Aksium wheels, hopefully some 28c's will fit.

Suggestions for a 26 (or 25.8) ahead 1 1/8th stem with a stack height below 40mm?

Something like ITM Millennium, but I'd like to know my options, if I have any, cos the ITM stems aren't easy to find either.

Kalloy uno?

Sub 40mm...

I will measure my Pro stem's stack height.

3TTT forge ahead are 38mm http://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/ST3TFRGAHD/3ttt-forge-ahead-stem
I believe a few of those NOS ones off planet X would be sub 40mm stack, but there isn't the information

Thanks. I had seen the forge ahead stem but, being a tart, I'd like a black stem. Also, I need 100mm or 110mm. I've asked an eBay seller if they can measure the stack height on an old two bolt Ritchey stem that I've seen.

I guess a standard 40mm stack height isn't that bad if the bolts are lower down the stack. Therefore the clamping force is further from the top edge.

Pro LT apparently has a 40mm stack heigh exactly. Mine (100mm) is yours for a tenner if you want it.

Thanks mate, but that seems to be exactly what I've got right now. 40mm high with a bolt right at the top.

After a bit of research, if anyone has a syntace f99 or f139 for sells (26 clamp in 100 or 110 length) then I might buy it off you. Or maybe a deda Newton 26.

So nice!

I've a stack of 26 ahead. Can measure Thursday if you're not in a hurry.

That's very kind of you. I'm not in a huge rush, as I've got other parts to collect before fully building anyway. Cheers!

What are you building? Pics so far please...
