  Oui tu as le choix entre differents types de tubes: triangulaire, oval, rond, rectangulaire et pour chaque differentes tailles/diamètres

  Il a même été jusqu'à me faire un tube de direction conique, là c'était vraiment "custom" fait à la demande quoi

  Well to each his own I guess. My interest was being able to choose everysingle tube of the frame, design something unique.
  I own 6 track bikes/fixies, carbon, aluminium and steel. Each has a different geometry and size. I don't give a damn, i adapt to the bikes, enjoy the hell out of every one of them.

  Danyutz a -17' stem will result in a quasi horizontal stem, kinda parallel to the road if you will.

  Yes 3 spacers of 10mm indeed my bad.

  Nothing wrong with that in my book.

  Also "custom" with Mielec isn't for the size. I ordered a frame size M. I never gave my measurements or anything. It's custom in the sense that I chose all the tubes of the frame specifically, shape and diameter. And he made the tapered headset on request, something he had never done before.

  It's recommended to have a small spacer above the stem with a full carbon fork. 3 spacers of 1mm isn't much in my opinion. Plus the spacers i put are cool with the cut-outs.

  Finally negative stems are just sexier, more race oriented. Like the Cinelli MASH stem that can only be put on the negative to -17'

  Yes it is the X2, not to be used with carbon bars though. Stem cap is also Thomson, like the seatpost in 31,8mm.
  The X2 is 6' but i think there's a 17' ??

  I have ridden about 1,500km on this Mielec but +15,000km on my 1st Mielec with carbon wheels. Intense riding exclusively, training and racing. No commuting.

  And yes got the frame drilled for the bottle cage, so much more elegant like that. One my 1st Mielec there is the plastic strap that you can see on the 1st version of the Black Gloss. Works fine but eventually i will have it drilled too. Mielec aluminium is very solid so no worries
