That looks like a -10 stem. A -6 or so should make the stem parallel to the top tube and let you ditch some spacers. IMO that looks better.

Hot. Minor quibbles are the red accent on the saddle and I don't particularly care for those bottle cages but that is still one of the hotter steel bikes I've seen lately.

K-Edge Gopro Mount. It's a tad pricey for a simple milled piece of aluminum, but sleek and discreet.
The most important part, the Gopro isn't going to go wobble or shake.

Thanks RoadMike. The bottle cages are just what I have laying around and may change. I am open to ideas on something more suitable. Perhaps the VO Moderniste?
