50mm stem. The 90mm is way too long, I thought probably double the length. The complete bike that they sell comes with a 60mm stem on the large, but I was worried it might still be a bit long so went for 50mm. We'll see. The top tube is bloody long, so thought a short stem would be better to quicken the front end. We will see. For £9.99 I am happy to buy another in a different length.

Oh, and tell Mrs Coomber that turn ups don't suit her

Just had this conversation:

"Hey love, someone on retrobike says turnups dont suit you!"
"WHAT?!"

Very funny! She thought we were all just bike geeks. I told her you were a man of fashion Mike.

Re:

Yeah massive. The wife refers to it as "the horse".

Tomorrow will be the first ride in a month nearly with my knee so excited to say the least.

Cheers mike. I have a Madison flux in brown (used on my old fisher thread) which is nearly same.. Just thought black would look better. I will decide once I get on it properly.
