Hi there, I was thinking of uploading my bike on here a while back – I managed to snap my stem a week before posting this! So this is an update.
I built this single-speed from scratch over the course of a year and a half.
I ride it everyday and couldn’t imagine being without it.
The gear ratio is 50/12, slightly high but just right for me on the road.
Huni Prof 88 Frameset (w/ Cinelli bracket shells/lugs/drop outs)
Cinelli bars and stem
Tressostar bar tape
Campagnolo Veloce front brake caliper
Cane Creek Crosstop lever
Shimano 105 headset
Panaracer RiBMo PT tyres
KMC chain
Stronglite crankset
Mavic OpenSport Rims
Shimano 105 hubs
Selle San Marco Concor seat
Nitto S-65 seatpost
Sugino clamp bolt
Cambio Rino pedals
Thank you to Brick Lane Bikes and Tokyo Fixed Gear in London as well as Cyclopaedia and The Bike Shed in Cardiff for additional help on constructing my first build!

I give you nine for the still bad seat angle.
How does it ride with the longer stem?

I know! Oh well, it’s seriously comfy! The stem is much better, I thought I would notice the change, but it’s OK!
Thanks for enquiring

Stem length does balance the post length. First post was all leg no torso. Mugg it up.

dude you might be kidding yourself a bit much if you think that saddle angle is seriously comfy compared to a level saddle. just go see what sheldon brown says…or any bike mechanic.

Nice build. Glad to hear it’s well used. Nitpick suggestions: silver stem, level saddle, blue tape/red straps.
