Partly that and I'm long legged so most of my bikes run 175's, 180's won't be that much different for me plus I got a smokin' deal on them.

My early driving days were spent behind the wheel of a 348 powered '60 Impala so I have a soft spot for the 1960 Chevies.

I can live with unicrowns on MTB's but I have a lugged frame road bike with one and it looks so wrong to me I bought a different fork for it. Hoping to get it swapped out soon. I'm regretting my stem choice in retrospect as well but I'm not ready to swap them out yet as wrapping road bars isn't one of my better skills. Then again I need the practice before I do the 650 project......
