Sparky's murdered-out road bike

yeah, but lighter and fewer holes

Yeah, I'm getting rid.

Threw some more bits at this.

nice stem

I hope that stem is staying.

Totally Jurassic setup.

I'll be trying to swap that stem for a black one. I'm just sick of the fork rattling about. There's obviously too much seatpost but I don't want to scratch it higher than necessary until I know where it needs to be. Bars should be here today. Still need wheels. Much indecision.

Why the MTB stem?

More front basket Space?

trollalalala.....

Get a black OEM stem from your LBS, do not listen to these trolls.

Kalloy uno can be stealth'd and weighs little. Will be doing that on my TT build once I've had my bike fit.

wine box, perleassee

@Sparky - I have an acetoned Deda stem in 130mm, if you're after that faux-pro look?

Ooh, how much posted to that That There London? Might be long for me. No idea yet. Not sure how this will size up. I did just pretend to ride the frame a bit but my colleagues told me to stop.

Vine or GTFO

I think I'll choose GTFO.

A little piece of me dies when I hear/read the word "fixie".

The dwindling hope I have for the world and humankind is slowly ebbing away.

More.

are you going to build this at work?

Will need to come home for the proper bits. I've just been throwing parts together as I collect them. I'll throw it back in the box and get the train home one day. Then you can build it for me while I drink tea?

ha! Lets schedule a nice (weather) sunday post ride or something. Once you have everything.

Apart from the ( highly professional ) solvent job, it's mint, so £10 posted to you.

If that's too long, I have same stem in 100mm size.

Brought it home today.

uh huh, were you asked to clear your desk out as well?

Light Bicycle rims and Wiggle super cheap Lifeline carbon pads play extremely nicely together. Swissstop not needed.
