OK – I've changed the stem, you'll be happy to hear! Looks a lot better 🙂
Yes the mech is temporary – it came with the brakes as a job lot on ebay. However since buying the frame was somewhat expensive – these alterations may take a little time. The gearing I'm happy with – I've used this gearing on my FSR for a while, though I may add a second chainring in the future.
The Modded chainset I did myself.
