I meant to say 5 KG weight limit, not 2 KG. Also that's a VO Happy Stem
with a 45 degree angle. Worked fine with the stock rack, but did have to
connect an XS and medium loadstrap together for this stem.

I picked that for my new Sam. It's due to be delivered next week. I chose
the friction option and Choco bars, and gave them details of the type of
riding that I do. I have faith that they will put together a nice set of
components to match that.

Good choice Michael. I will be doing the same with my new Sam. I built up
one bike from a frame prior to this, which convinced me to let someone else
do it this time around.

Thanks for the suggestions, Patrick. I had a 54cm Roadini, which didn't
feel good, possibly because it was too big for me. That model does seem to
be the obvious choice, but I'm a bit wary of trying one in 50cm, because
the size may not have been the problem. The Homer is the other one that

Mike, I looked at this one, but from its description, it may be too much of

I'd appreciate any comments, especially if someone does this type of riding

No question about Motolites, but will the Minis clear a standard 2" knobby?

gets a little funny sometimes. Check height and

on a workstand so you can check and watch the functioning as you shift
it.
