Re:

Needs a road stem, or flip that one the other way up.

It's a Roberts, fit the best bits you have.

Re:

Drop that stem down ffs! And flatten them bars, you're not a paper round rider!

Don't be scared to bend over, big boy!
I have a nice long 140mm stem for sale if you're interested. And a 130 come to think of it.
Als thnk white bar tape ansilver seatpost would look better. But you know what they say about beauty. Have it how you want it mate

It's a long stem. Did you see the alternative? Can come down a bit.

Re:



S'pose it's OK

Needs tyres. These are shot. Will adjust as I ride. Badly/Slowly.

I don't have a silver post. Got three black 27.2s.

Re:

I just measured the seat to bar drop on my Rourke and it is 120mm and I don't ride with a particularly flat back.

Planet X and Ribble always have deals on tyres. I like Michelin Pro4 service course, also Vittoria Rubino Pro, which are as cheap as chips but which I find work well for me.

Good looking bike though, with a bit of fine tuning it should be a corker.

Yes it is upright at present. Got tired so left it for now. Couple of tweaks. Then Prescott.

 

[NeilM]

Then Prescott.

Be sure to wear your tweed cap, plus 4's and freshly polished Brogues.

Re:

+1 for rubino tyres. Planet X often have deals and you can get them in blue

[The History Man]

Blue would be nice as I'll be looking at them a lot if I drop that stem.
