Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

yes i do have a number of spacers but i wanted to error on the longer side since if needed i could just put spacers on the top of the stem. As of now i did get rid of two spacers, just wasnt sure on my position since the change from my old bike was alot. But suprisingly there is not alot of flex...Josh

Jbrew,

Beautiful bike!!

I'm curious how many CMs of spacers do you have on there? My new incoming bike will have 3 CM, and I think it will be fine.

Jbrew -- that is quite an impressive pic gallery, especially w/ all the component weight verified on that scale . Seems like you love the bike -- congratulations.

Those cables look great. I think I may have to put them on my S-Works.
