I'll admit that I like the look of my bike's cockpit a lot right now, but them "Pista" 65deg stems come in all lenghts, and I chose the 80mm only 'cuz it put me in a spot-on position re. the front wheel's hub, certainly not for looks.
am an absolute beginner re. road/track bikes btw, with a fast-ageing body, and admittedly loads to learn yet.
all the best.

fair enuff, I appreciate your point too...
as for comical, what about negative stems with loadsa spacers and a riser bar?! now, this I call comical and believe you me when I say ye come across plenty horrors like this in certain "ambients" ...
if I ever get an itch to try a riser, I'll make sure to turn the stem around first!
*sorry if this has gone OT
-
thanks for the clarification Linchey, but comical?! I disagree, after all you dont see traditional quill stems dive straight from the headset top? (if that maketh any sense)
-
there's still a 10mm spacer there, yes, I'm not a young 'un, an' that's what my back allows me!
edit: I just realized that I may have misinterpreted the usage of the term slamming... please O wise 'uns, illuminate me, as I'm also not a native speaker of the English idiom. ;)
-
changed the stem, an' bloody slammed it!
-
quite interesting methinks...
-
... or a link?!
-
thanks, I'll start with the massive 'un
-
Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms.
last nite I was searching "cutting steering tube," and I highlited "Mechanics & Fixin'"... ok, it was late n' I was bollix'd, but...
less relevant search strings, same (lack of) results...
