Hi Karl, I know you already sold this bike, but do you remember degree you have on this Thomson Elite X2 Stem? Was it 0 or 10 degree? Thanks.

Hi friend. In fact I've still got the stem on my Masi, I believe it's 10° - If not, I'll get back to you!

thoughts on this frame now that it's been a bit of time without???? I just spent 11 minutes trying to write a fabel about how you beat scrod and learned to build rad bikes, but you know all that. This fit big, why, and I'd love to hear your opinion on this frame compared to all that wonder euro hi-grade steel stuff you've been riding lately

Thank you so much dude, that means the world! I miss it already, that's a first. I honestly don't know why - it's the XL model w. a 59cm. ctc. tt and 61cm c-t st. so it's def. not a small frame. But I felt like I was sitting on a pole - like the balance was off as soon as I was cornering "hard" because I was placed so high off the ground... Of course this was only a feeling. I owned the 55cm. one, though - the 2010 Mash, and w. the same geo, tubes and all I can say that if the size is right, the frameset is sweet! Of course a lot of it is hype since - well - it's Cinelli, but I also feel like there's something more to it than that. It's like trying to review a wine for me - I find it extremely hard to put my finger on what, exactly, I've learned about it, what I like and how it differs from the other bikes I own.. But to try just a little bit - it feels "robust" and light at the same time. An amazing frame for street riding, that's for sure (haven't tried it on a drome). My best advice would be to always size down if you're unsure of what size to get! :)

it looks so badass. however, if you want to make it more badass, you gotta change that stem with another stem which have a slight degree to make it look straight, just like the stem in masi. just sayin', it's still look pretty nice though.

Thanks man, maybe that's the problem! I'll definitely try to find something with a steeper angle.

That would help. Thank you.
Also you mentioned that the bike was big on you. Just wondering your height/inseam and bike size it was and what do you think would have been the right size for you based on ride experience. I just recently bought the 2017 Bolt 2.0 in XS (52) and I'm about 5'7 with a 29" inseam. I just wanted to get an idea. Thanks.
