So nice. If it were a CX frame, it would be exactly what I'm lusting for.

My New Bike: Holland Exogrid



Took delivery about a week ago. Here are the specifics:

1) FSA Compact Bars
2) Black Handlebra sport tape with orange stitching
3) Orange Purely Custom bar end caps
4) Chris King head set with top cap and spacers anodized Molteni Orange
5) Holland Stem
6) Mike Lopez carbon fork
7) Fizik Seatpost
8) Regal Saddle
9) Dt Swiss 415 rims/240s hubs, 4000s tires
10) Ultegra Di 2 drive train, compact with 11-32 cassette and spare wheel with 11-28 (I have knee issues)

I have ridden a hundred miles or so and love how smooth the bike is. As importantly, the experience with Bill Holland, Cody, and Charles exceeded my expectations: exemplary communication, professionalism in the fit and design process, and I got the look and ride I wanted when I started this process.

Custom Black Sheep Northdam with BS fork and seatpost. Semi-rigged to get a feel for the end product

Why didn't you just get Seven to make get a longer headtube so you could have a more attractive stem setup? Or, was this made for someone else?

Jim, let us know how this winds up riding, particularly downhill fast. that spacer stack and huge positive rise on the stem would make me think that i would hate to get this bike moving fast downhill, but i could be wrong.

certainly a very nice bike, ride it in good health!

Please explain why either of these would make this ride wonky at speed downhill...

Looks to be about 4cm of spacers and about a 10* rise stem both of which might add a little flex to the front end but i think probably acceptable overall with no real detriment to the ride. BTW - I ride w/ 4cm of spacers and a 6-8* rise stem - love it.
