Re:
Ah, right, was thinking it might have been somewhere like Durie Den between Leven, Kennoway and Methil.
Ye should get us along there sometime for a wee explore if you think it's worth it.

Well done Jim 
Save cash on a new one, canny go wrong there.
Fitted a new stem today. Trying to gain height and avoid the stretched out position for something more favourable to my back
Always that 6'3" problem. Long arms/legs.
I think looking at it its a bit odd. But im only ever used to 110/120mm 10d rise and this is 70mm and 25 degree. Prior to this it was a purple ano thompson @90mm x 0 degree
Trying to find a purple hope stem exactly right is nigh on impossible. And Hope themselves seem to be fazing longer stems out.
Any thought how this is going to ride ?, I've stil brakes to do so cant ride yet. Deffo not use to such a steep short stem. :?

Re:
I'm finding that I don't get on with the whole retro "long stem/narrow bars" thing these days. I fitted a short high rise stem and riser bars to the Zaskar and have to say I love it! I'm doing similar to the Orange as well.
And whilst Im happy I fixed the bike pump it's just a shame I didn't fix it out on the bloody trail when I had a puncture! :facepalm:

Plenty of choice there, but alas no purple hope 
Sorry, you know what im like. Hope or no. 
But those are handy in finding the size on any given project.
Ill find out sooner rather than later, but I reckon the new position might be a help. Shame theres just not longer @25d. even 90mm with a 2" riser would just lift me up and back a bit.

Re:
Personally I use trials stems in 30-40 degree rises often between 100mm - 150mm. I admit it looks ungainly even fugly but it means my back and neck can cope better.
