that's lovely and quite old fashioned looking - long and low, although you could put a negative rise stem on it maybe?

It's already got a negative stem on, it's only 6° though. The problem is I'd quite like to keep all the finishing kit matching and I'm not sure if I can get a more negative stem from Ritchey in wet black.

Some lovely looking bikes! I have only ridden mine 3 times (before noticing the "crack") but 650B is the way forward for me for sure! I raced 29 last year and just dont like the way they ride...

Im not amazing technically so the little extra rolling 650B gives smoothes out my lack of finesse! 😀

Everyone, the 3T ARX -17° stem would suit the colour scheme of yours.... I know it is isnt Ritchey but the red stripe and decals were easilly removed on mine if you fancied the more subtle look!!

Not used to seeing your Kingdom without bar ends! How are you getting on with the new bars (and the new Spark since I've not spoken to you since you raced it)?
