It's a tad longer than my fit calculator specifies, so I will get a slightly shorter stem. 80mm is the magic number. I found everything I need. Thanks guys!

The thomson comes in 25.4 which fits most 26.0 bars almost perfectly.

The only real disadvantage I've found to having a shorter stem (or in my case, I have weird shaped track drops that I've tilted inward. . . wrong frame size, but looks ok) is that I feel much less comfortable out of the saddle pushing up hills. The bike looses that natural sway. The handling effects are MUCH more noticeable then. having said that, if I keep this bike, it'll get a short stem and some decent handlebars. Fit seems more important for comfort than "feel"

So, what do you guys think? Nitto UI-G5X vs. Salsa?

And seat posts:
Salsa vs. Miche?

I've already decided thompson is too expensive for me. And nitto 80mm threadless in black or gold is hard to find!!
