ha ha I don’t think he wants to sell it is why it needs to move to the other forum.

A quick search reveals you might have 3 bikes from this builder. This one looks like a great sport-tourer. I love the rack mounts brazed into the seat stays. How does it ride?

Bikes: they change so much I'm tired of updating this
It rides really nice but the frame size is odd. 56cm st and 53cm toptube. It’s currently for sale but if I keep it I’ll definitely need a longer stem.

It is likely a good rider, but you are correct about the stem. Plantenga used a 110 stem on other builds and the ride worked at that length stem. The one I had needed the longer stem to "feel" right for me. Sorry about your intention to sell this good touring bike. Smiles, MH
