it is. it feels super cramped. i really think it is that short stem. lately i have been re-riding the same section on my little trail. need to get a touch more comfy.

Why not push the seat back on the rails bro - it seems to be as far forward as it will go even though the post has no setback.

a 130mm stem was the norm on all the bikes back then.

moved that seat back. much better. the new tires are pretty cool. seem grippier than the Smoke/Dart i had on there. i think the tire pressure was dead on. rode like a dream.

Hi,

Looks sweet Sette ...and with the new stem you're -still?- planning it will possibly even better. A Kalloy/Yo forks match is a bit nah imho ...but for the remaining it looks really very neat.

i'll tell you Melvin. these quills are getting tougher to find. i do not want to just slap something on there. the Uno/Kalloy was on there when i got it. so i just figure it is rideable and when i find the right stem - then we can do the swap. the plan is for something black - keep it all black and green. tidy!
