Nice  :4_17_5:

Are the bars the ones skyway are selling and would they be OK to use on an old school cruiser?

Lovely

Difficult with a thin stem, would you want to cut the steerer down on a frameset you've waited 14 1/2 years for???

I'd probably not want to, but i'd want that stem....

Run a spinner!!!

Its the only logical solution......... (i've had 8 pints...)

Matt ,, that is probably the best T/A  24 so far  :smitten:

I saw these gorgeous wheels being built in Diggler's ,,,and when I saw them I knew the rest of the bike was going to be impressive  :4_17_5:

This build has some Quality parts and need to be told  , spec list please  :angel:

No  need Mark ,  :daumenhoch:

 If you want to run the stem in a lower position ,,


 fit one thin spacer,,

 then the stem ,

 and the rest of  spacers go on top,, no need to cut the headtube  :daumenhoch:


 and you could possibly fit this stem in an inverted position ,it would ride right ,but it's not an inverted cruiser stem  ???   :daumenhoch:

That's a very clean build, reminds me of the prototype build but slightly sweeter  ;)

Got to say the spider is particularly nice
