What on earth are you planning to ride up on a 22/32 gear?

Its a set up I've got on my old bike and is perfect for here, S Wales valleys with some very steep lanes and tracks.

The fearsome North Face of the Spacer Stack.

The spacers give a better bar height and looked better that a higher angle stem - wanted the same feel as my drop bar mtb - nicer for off road stuff.

Composition in 1st pic could be better - front wheel overlapping pebbledash and stone wall.
I really am splitting hairs.....
FAB-U-LOUS!!!

You went for a bar height and gearing to suite your own requirement....

Shakes head and mutters

Thats not how we do things here

Have you used the Clements before? I had the 32c LGG's on the commute. Split 3 of them in under 500 miles (I may have taken one set slightly off-road......)

Look forward to hearing they're ok ๐Ÿ™‚

Spacertastic!!
No bottle cage?
Almost looks like its missing a cable stop for the rear mech routing leaving quite a large loop of cable.
Otherwise tidy looking
