Any ideas for traditional 1 1/8 headset to the Mielec with the Alpina carbon/alloy track fork that arent overly expensive or ugly?

thanks for the links but those are both pure anti

pure anti??

^^ ha +1

course - u could always turn it the wrong way..

Cinelli ant stem, 60 mm; http://www.tokyofixed.co.uk/parts/stems/ant-stem-1.html
and DMR swarm stem, 55 mm: http://www.tokyofixed.co.uk/parts/stems/swarm-stem.html

the more the merrier :)

use a shorter stem (like the antstem) ?

huh

huh!

ok thanks @ BONOR think I finally understood; many choose smaller sized Mashecs and they're the ones with lesser sloping TTs that I keep seeing? in other words my M sized should be alright slopewise.

The PX forks do look rad, but Alpina is on the way :) .. Btw, Swedish forum posted a tip on Omniums (179 euros) at Bike24.

@archangels - I suppose the question is aimed to Jewsef. Im waiting for a M size order.. I cant see how the sizes would affect the sloping TTs. Here's a real mash size L:

this really makes me wonder why there are so many traditional HS Mashecs that seem to lack the typical sloping TT.

thanks anyways. looks like a slope alright but I cant see the alignment of the wheels and really not the HS either.. What HS did u get btw?

omg.. hate to be an asshole here but thats a horrible picture. It looks like a picture of a reflection in a screen.

^^ those stays almost makes me feel nauseous. Its like Salvador Dali tried making a bicycle. How wide is the BB gonna have to be?

thanks allot!

u think u could post a pic please?

Ok, thanks. @ archangels, so u mean that it's just a coincident on the pics I choose - and that the ones with traditional HS also had larger frame sizes? Still - I've seen it on all of the Mielecs (I dont know which ones had customed geo) so far - and shouldnt the slope still be there, even with a larger frame?

@ negaatio - right well I suppose that's my question.

Traditional:

IHS:

How so? Examples:
BONORs bike, IHS, pursuit sloping toptube:http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8088/8433335157_dbf2edd78a_b.jpg

Someone elses mashec with traditional headtube:http://cdn.velospace.org/files/abc.jpg

From looking at peoples pictures it looks as if the Mashecs with traditional headsets get less of a pursuit angle on the toptube, do to the slightly increased height of the headtube (provided by the lower external HS bearing)..? or is that all in my head?
