Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Obviously my Salsa Vaya didn't go over well so I will try again.
Brought this out of retirement to hold me over until I know what I want out of a go fast bike and buy something new. What stem angle to I need to level this out?

You need to get the image location, not just the page link. I'd post it but it's huge.

Looks like you have a 0° stem on there. A -6° should match the top tube angle.

Not sure why the picture isn't working. I'll try again on my computer later.
On the phone?

Click on the picture in imgr, press share- copy to clipboard....when posting it on the forum use the image tag/link and remove one set of ' https:// ' if its doubled when you paste it.

Not usually a big Trek fan but that looks great to me. Btw, how did you link such a large image? My three pics won't upload from imgur, says they're too big

Thanks. Should have taken off my light before i took that pic...Really enjoying the new wheels. These are alot wider than my 10yr old Mavic. The 25mm tires really puff out, running ~65psi.
Just sent it to my computer as a "large image" from my iphone, uploaded to imgur, and did the [ img] links.

NOT. You can't slam a flipped up stem!

About those levers, the composite ones look fine, but I was wondering: why do you have them in the first place if the rest of the group is alloy?

Well, originally I had a carbon crankset to go with it which I ended up using to build a Park Pre frame (pic below); these have a bare metal look so the carbon is a nice accent on it. Let’s say it’s my one attempt to save weight . This bike came out at an even 20 pounds which is great considering the components.

I also had been looking for Ultrashift levers to go with the 2010 Ultrashift RD and these carbon ones were the only ones I could find.
