There's no info about the head tube angle anywhere, but the current -17 stem isn't parrallel.
I'd prefer to have the stem and seatpost matching and Thomson don't do a -15º stem for OS bars AFAIK.
In other news. I've been looking at building up some wheels, but my budget is fast disappearing. Does anyone know anything about these hubs?

Apparently they are Novatec hubs with Japanese bearings. They would cost $63 incl. shipping for the pair, which I think is a great price. I've used the regular Novatec hubs before and never had problems with them.
If I manage to scrape more money together I'm looking at Paul or Goldtec hubs.
