Lester - PERFECT info - thanks man.
I'm trying to be cheap with this build because it's a winter beater that won't get ridden THAT much. So far I'm well under $300 and quite happy about that. Being cheap and making sure I can resell things without getting killed is why I can have nice bikes anyway!
Build so far -
Litespeed Obed MTB frame
Suntour COmmand shifters
7sp Deore DX hubs and drivetrain
XT v brakes
Gary bars
Tektro v brake levers
Avocet touring saddle
Oooooh, you're building up some Ti action, nice! I reckon if you haven't ridden the frame built up with flat bars then you won't have that as a reference point, so I'd go for taking the measurements I mentioned earlier of a bike you already have set up. Then once you get a seatpost in the Lightspeed you can get to work finding the stem you'll need to mimic that setup.
