One reason they changed the hook system was that the center wingnut on
the old hook kit had the potential to scrape the finish off the rack.
A lot of people didn't like the idea of scrapes on an expensive rack.

I totally agree. The angle up is way too steep -- it looks weird. I
say flip it or swap it out with a shallower angle.

The Schwalbe Marathon Supreme is built primarily for puncture
resistance and longevity, and is ideal for loaded touring. However,
it's probably way on the stiff end of the suppleness scale. I pump
'em up every couple of weeks to around 65-70, and when they feel a bit
softish they're down to 40.
If we do this early and get it out of the way, does that mean that Spring will
come early?

Ha! I couldn't disagree more. When I read Eric's remark, I assumed I'd
see a "seven" shaped stem jacked up eight inches.
The only problem I can see with this stem is that it's a little fat
compared to the bike tubing, but I've seen fatter. It looks good. A
custom steel stem would require painting,
Beautiful bike and build!
I'm guessing you chose to install the stem as you did to give you a
comfortable reach to the bars and opted for a 17 degree rise over a
whole bunch of spacers?.
Hope you and your wife enjoy your Roadeo's. Happy New Year.

Bah, it's better to have the bike fit. Anyway, it looks like he's
still dialing in the fit, guessing by the spacers above and below the
stem. What we really need are steerer spacers that don't make the bike

Hi Richard-
Thanks to all of the group that have responded about my new Roadeo
build. You are indeed correct. As you surmised, the folks at my LBS
convinced me to try the stem with the up sloping configuration to
minimize the number of spacers that would be needed. Trying to be
conservative
No, but if you can hit a second audience by simply offering another fork, why
not? Randonneuring is growing, and Francophilia is in vogue. The tubing spec
and other aspects of the frame would make a good fastish Brevet bike.
Seems like low-hanging fruit to me.

Hi Jim,
No telling, the definitive research is yet to be done.
Ahearne is one of several builders who are taking the humble stem
concept and making works of art. Perhaps it is my bias, but I frankly
prefer the two quills in his photo album to the lovely threadless.
Unfortunately, not many of the builders sell stems without their
bike. I have always wondered
