So little update. A slight set back with the stem.Gone to put it together today, so I could check the handle bar length and it doesn't fit :lol: It's too wide for the steering tube.I Should have checked before painting, but eh, my fault, It happens.Good news though! I have got the original one which came on this frame anyway.I had used it on another bike, but can just swap them over.Not much of a change but here is it.Just need to paint it up..... again :| I like the shape of this one anyway.

I'll give it a sand down tomorrow.

Yeah, It's a nicer stem than the one I had planned to use. It has a real nice shape to it and it's shorter too, which means the bars will sit lower down. It was ment to be :)
