Re:
And the first iteration has already morphed.
I was going to use a black Thomson stem and then discovered this Hope stem In the spares box. I popped it on because although it doesn't match the seat post I felt the cnc'd cutouts were more in keeping with the rear triangle.
Then when it was on I felt that the silver headset, spacers and stem balanced the seat tube junction/extension.
Thoughts?
Black Thomson or silver Hope stem
I also thought the adjustment knob on the Hope seat post clamp sat well with the rear frame.

As my first post, I'd like to say congrats on the new frame. I just acquired a STS 1000 DS myself last Friday. now I'm off to find the introduction thread.

Re: GT STS Lobo : retromodern built, full carbon components..
Nice polish job. I bought a kit just for the black chips. Cost so much I decided to make a set out of aluminum, not pretty but works.
