ooh grand, cheers mikee.

Gazz, bike is tyred (1.35 Schwalbe Kojaks, bald to match the rider see). 42:16 Singlespeed. Popped on the 1" to 1 1/8 ahead converter yesterday, with a spare 70mm stem and then put the drops on... Cockpit feels a bit tight burling about the back garden, and the converter plus headset spacers and stem looks absolutely gash. Might as well do this right and get a proper stem.
