What length stem is that?

80mm. -8deg

Here’s a better angle for the bike snob. ;)

I plan to trim the steerer and make it nice and tight. I just like to experiment with different heights before I cut.

I have a 60, 80, 90, and 100 that I've tried. I'm leaning towards the 80, seems to fit perfect. But they don't make a boxcar in 80. I'm more of a Thomson guy anyway.
I have a 70 boxcar for sale but 0 degree. Looks like you didn’t try a 70. Thomson good, Paul better for stem.

What makes one stem better than another? I've had a million, could never tell a difference.

Watch the chain length. I put a larger cassette on one of my road bikes but didn't add length to the chain and shit got weird when I accidentally shifted big-big.

This comes with a chain. I'll err on the side of too many links.

Lost an Ultegra rear derailleur that way... :(
