Thanks. Came with white housing but if I ever swap it I'll keep that in mind. I'll cut the steerer once I'm sure it's good. No going back.

So here is my Evo. Sorry for the lame basement pic. Still working out the fit, but pretty much there. Will cut the steerer eventually though somewhat worried about doing that. I'm sure the hot or not-zis will point out the unslammed stem (and lack of deep wheels) but in my defense I actually ride the bike and slammed isn't something I can manage comfortably and the 63cm frame is just too big. Oh, the ravages of age... And yes my saddle is level - actually 2 degrees down.
Mostly stock but had to replace the short seat post so did the stem too to match. Any suggestions?

Haha, I was being sarcastic with the beater. But still, an Evo?!? Its probably just the angle of the picture, or you have Ergosums, which are terribly janky bars.

It's a 60cm. Does that change the assessment?

Wow! Thanks for the huge improvement. Definitely made the colors pop. My crappy Indoor lighting is so archaic.

I said a 63 was too big. In other words, the only way to get a tall enough HT to slam the stem, at least in an Evo, I'd need a size that was too big otherwise. Too old and inflexible to be aggressive on the right sized bike.

Ahhh, I misunderstood. I understand where you are coming from. I'd love to slam my stem, but I'm at my limit as well.

Traded the Supersix for this and cash. He also threw in a spare Rival crank, GXP BB, 5700 cassette and Aksium race wheelset. I was presented with receipts from the bikeshop showing a new chain, cassette, cables, grip tape and conti tires. I probably won't, but if I could change anything the steerer tube would get cut, and I'd change the stem, bars and saddle.

You traded a SuperSix for an Orbea? At least to me, a 2011 SuperSix is 100x hotter than that Orbea.
