Looks good - I have a couple of Rocky's that size and one's got a 90mm stem on it, the other's got a stock 110mm stem on it. The stock setup is definitely best IMHO. Enjoy riding it, they ride like nothing else IME 😀
thanks TJ, you're right, I asked for that 😀
sorry for the hijack roadie_in_denial, your bike looks good for an XL one, even with the spoiler 😉
er,
STEM!
it's probably great for riding [i]up[/i] stuff, which is of course fine and wonderful.
you're a catholic aren't you?
Thanks for the responses. I think this is actually the longest thread I've ever started, so thanks for all that! Hadn't realised that MudGuards were such a controversial topic, especially in winter!
Take care all and I'll see you down the road.

Whats this obsession with super-short stems?
If you want to ride fast, flowing descents, and can handle a bike, then maybe 50mm stems aren't where its at, I don't want a bike that handles like its got ADHD anyway thanks...
Nice rocky mountain b.t.w!
[i]Well what do you all think?[/i]
Says the OP, so he's asking for people's opinion on how his bike [i]looks[/i] not how well do you think my bike functions...
So, with that in mind: Mudguards; they look a bit rubbish, and they detract from the overall "rightness" of an otherwise nice looking hardtail.
Am i alone in liking the mudguards?
No...I like them. They stop me getting a wet arse. 🙂
As for the detailed analysis of what my original post meant...actually it was a very open ended question so feel free to comment on anything from aesthetics to functionality to the absence of a wheel stand to hold the bike upright.
