Rides like a long wheel base, extended cab pick-up. Certainly not for weight weenies. I've got room for wider tired too, which will probably be in the picture at some point.
I think the technomic stem looks right on your bike because it is a quill stem. Are you running 27 inch or 700c wheels? What size tires? What kind of cantilevers? Thank you.
