Why don't you just give up this bike hobby? Didn't you just bought a $400 crankset+bb that doesn't even fit on your frame? And now u want to install a negative rise stem and track drops on a street bike?

If this doesn't work, bike shops usually have tons of cheapo stems they've pulled off to help people fit bikes. See if you can go test a couple lengths. They'd probably be happy to if you tell them you'd like to order the stem through their shop. The slight extra cost of buying at your LBS would probably save you in the long run if you only have to order one size in the end.
Goop idea! But they probably won't have many Pista type stems as spares... mostly regular ones... thanks though!

Oh look.. it's another person with a non-related comment...
if you really want me to get into it... I got the bike frame, wheels, crank, BB, and another bin full of parts for free from buying a couple bikes and parting them out... (sold the other parts and frames to pay for the two bikes...) so I have spent Nothing.... I'm just trying to make it work for a fun little project... In the other thread I said that I bought them to keep it simple... This is my 9th bike so I am just trying something different for a winter project with what I have laying around...

Nothing is making sense? Not sure what you are referring to... this is MY thread... I started it... I did not start it for you to chime in with a little comment... I started it for some suggestions... I got several that were very helpful...

Oh, so you started a thread on the world wide web hoping to only receive responses telling you exactly what you wanted to hear? Makes perfect sense.

So, lemme make sure I got this right. You're going for that "pista" look on a single speed converted American road frame, using a high end track crank, which has to be rigged to even work, coupled with a flipped 25deg stem and track drops. Correct?
