That depends on if campy is owned by private equity vultures or not.

I thought Look owned Time outright these days.

Hopefully Mavic can get picked up Look as well and create a French super brand and bring back Mavic Zap.

@Orloved There is a fit thread where you can ask questions: Is there a Fit thread?

That said you’re gonna have a lot of internet experts telling your your stem is too short and bars are too high, but I don’t think so based on your seat height, bar width, and bar reach. Lift weights, do core exercises, and stretch for a year, and then see how your fit changes, if you want the best advice out there.

I may actually do a bike fit blog as I have gone down quite a rabbit hole on it. When I started all this I was like “oh I’ll just get the same size frame as I always have but put wide bars on it” but things got very confusing, to the point that I actually own two 1980s Schwinn Voyageurs, a 21" and a 23". I have a bunch of measurements done out and some side-by-side photos, but I need to update them now that I have the Crust stem.

Which crust/nitto stem?

it’s running this! https://crustbikes.com/products/nitto-26-0-bj-stem/

The name of that stem, wow :roll_eyes:

Also you do you, but just so you know there are stems that don’t cost 50% of your bike!

well, it’s probably a play on LD, which is already problematic.

It’s no dickwolves, but if LD is toe-ing the line, then BJ is maybe a little over.

LD is also a 30 year old joke so it’s kinda :colbert:

everything should just have 10 digit alphanumeric part numbers and no common name.
Print the part number in big bold letters across the bike part and clearcoat over it

Everything should have a latin name that everyone has to use to refer to the object, like plants or insects do.

I see you have a handlebaro bentgrantii.
