I know i hate it flipped. i was going to run it normal but i need to cut my steerer tube down more. and im not sure if i want to do that just yet.

what is there to understand? it's a stem. it holds your bars.

It's so purdy right-side-up and so gross looking upside-down. I do however understand the functional aspect of not cutting steerertubes.

Does that rear tire bind at all?
PS. Other than the seat, that's my ideal bike.

Thanks guys. i went out and rode it for the first time and i love it. it feels really solid.
The rear tire is REALLY close to the frame but it doesnt rub. i need to keep my wheels really true. The intergrated chain tensioners help alot too
thanks again.
Those dropouts look silly. But everything looks really nice. I don't think I've ever seen anyone using the rule-of-thumb bars=forks angle with Directors, but shiiiiiit, whatever works for ya!
it looks great
Exactly.
It looks like a fucking turd the other way around.

I love huge tires. i've ran them for about a year now. i just got tanwalls though.
Stack height is uhh i dunno hahah. if your talking about spacers i guess i just have 2 2mm? spacers
I bought that sproket when it was black. rawed it down and polished it all nice. i need to polish it again soon.
thanks guys!

no the actual height of the stem.
like from the bottom of the stem to the top of the stem.
want to know if it is shorter/taller than my fly so i know if i can run it with my steerer tube.
