Some jackass burglarized my local co op and stole my steamroller while it was parked in there overnight, something I never ever do, crazy coincidence. Renters insurance came through and gave me an insane budget to replace it, so here I am building an insane replacement. Still have budget for basically any stem, handlebar, and seat post I could dream of, fit is pretty much dialed in I think, decisions decisions… anyone know if enve road stems can take a beating? Will probably go to straight flat bars as well since I feel I could be leaned forward a little more but idk, I kinda like how the riser looks.
Also, let it be known that the White Industries bottom bracket makes for a nice chain line with 75dd2s!
Also also, how much mileage do yall usually get out of an Izumi chain? I’m around 1300 miles now including a few hundred on dirt/gravel and she’s starting to get real stretched, 8 out of 10 on the chain checker…

Oh yeah, also notable that the dura ace 9100 bottom bracket I was running initially did NOT make for a good chain line, it was 2 or 3 mm outboard and definitely ran noticeably worse for it. Couldn’t find any info about alternative BBs for these cranks on the internet so wanted to put it out there for anyone who wants to mess around in the future.
The lock matching is a cute touch
