Ya I will stick with the solo.

As for the stem I am looking around at reviews. The weight difference between stems like the thomson and ritchey are only 40 grams or 0.088 pounds (in my bucks not noticibe). I also kinda like the idea of matching post to stem although not really that important.

The site I am looking at also has the thomson in in 10 degreee. Won't a raise stem with bullhorns look weird? Also still requesting advice on getting the 100 or 110 in the -17 and 100 or 110 10 degree stem.

thanks for all the help guys
