Hey SS, how tall are you and what would you normally take in a road bike?

Very nice indeed. Is that a small amount of steerer is can see at the front and rear, between the stem and headset?
-

Will do: hope to have it roadworthy before the weekend.
I wouldn't know, but it has been around a bit, much like the current owner :)

Looks like the bottom of his reducer sleeve, it's a 1⅛" stem on a 1" fork

I'm 6' 3" and Y-M 1.0 has a 58cm TT, which in road guise has a 110mm, +17° stem.

When I don't have anything better to spend my money on, I'll get a black one.

Shakedown on the BS/33 this AM: nothing fell off.
Reasonably happy with the fit. Could do with raising the saddle a little? Undecided as to whether I prefer to be on the ends or the bends of the extensions. Don't think I need a shorter stem after all.
Horizontal brake lever actually felt more natural to use with my thumb, than having it underslung and rolling my wrist around the outside of the bar to get at it.
On 56x17 today and hopefully Hubjub will track down a 17t Phil in time or I might be tempted to use the 16t Phil I do have...

I'd say you're too low at the front.

Looks like it has a parachute on the back. #dragracing

So a shorter stem to bring my arms into more of a right-angle?
Already have all the spacers under the extensions.
I did have one foot on the bike rack, so I was a little off-balance and would ride a little more forward.
I'll stick it on the turbo and get another pic.

awesome. congrats.
re stem, you look quite far back on the saddle there. -
• #94
I'd try dropping the saddle a little as well, does look quite high.

Ta.
Probably not representative: will try again.

Saddle-2-bar is epic, but my thighs just touch the bottom of my ribcage as it is.
I'll try moving the armrests and extensions back, see if that raises my shoulders.
