Merckx Help (what stem?)

[Hilltopperny]

Hard to go wrong with a Cinelli stem and bars on this one. I would also build it up with a silver post and save the pmp for a different build. I like the C-record era seatpost. That is a beauty of a frameset Nick!

Man, this bike is fighting me the whole way!

because the steerer tube is butted internally pretty high up, i could barely get any insertion on the quill stem, and the stack height would be too high.

few minutes of calculating mitres and boom that sucker got the chop job. the beauty of quill stems i guess.







in other news, the state of shipping in the US is a mess. i have a bunch of small parts in the mail, and they are almost all in various states of delay. stuff sitting in depots for forever, weeks between tracking updates, etc. and this is all inter US shipping.

oh well, small potatoes worries compared to a lot of other real world problems.
