Wow looks gorgeous... I'd be tempted to find a slightly thinner stem if possible. How's she ride?

Superleggera stem with Deda Classic drops

[markyboy]

I don't like it.

you dont have to

[majklnajt]

I know. You've ruined it in my eyes.

But hey, it's your bike. You've build it as you like and that's all that matters.

That is sex on wheels.

The only thing I would say about the RS rather than the standard stem is that it's been slimmed down so much (more than the normal superleggero) that I was unable to find any carbon spacer with a small enough diameter not to encroach the edges of the top of the stem. What this means is that a fraction of the carbon spacer is exposed and your knee has the potential to slightly graze the spacer and does that scrape skin off! And this was with the genuine 3mm height deda ones which were the smallest diameter I could find. So it went under the stem. I know for some they say you should have a long enough steer tube to enable a small spacer above. So that's just something to consider. Otherwise for me personally the little bits of red bling slightly catch the eye when it should be taken up by the frame and all other components compliment that but it's your bike and hopefully it dries up to be able to ride it

Yes the red bits were taken off my master so i will be looking to change them soon,i dont really want to get new wheels as these are a light wheelset but its those red hubs we shall see.
As for the stem thats a good bit of info i will bear that in mind.Chain catcher black or silver?
