Hey all, can I ask for some advice please. What stem and seatpost would be a good match for a RC200 F5. Id need to go silver, to match the RC130 bars and prefer a 100mm length. Thanks for any suggestions!

All down to budget, taste and what's available tbh. Ahead or threaded, inline or layback. Nice simple shiney kalloy posts are strong and light, a control tech, club roost or even pace or xlite stem would be the norm. Too many variables haha
Any pics of how it is now?

Hi, all the best with the build.
Might I suggest keeping to the correct sized seatpost, as a highly important factor.
I've experienced cracks to Pace seat tubes before and I can't get past, that a shimmed USE, combined with my 100 kgs were to blame!

Re:
Thanks for the replies. I’d like a Pace stem but missed out on eBay. I have a 120mm Control Tech which feels too long so put a 100mm Kore one on for now. The seatpost is unbranded but functional. The Syncros Ti one on eBay is lovely but too expensive! The bike is mostly silver parts, RC35’s and few red bits including Tomac Maguras. There’s a red Ringle seatpin on eBay which is borderline too short and I don’t want to risk cracking the frame.
