Slingshot stem, new project parts rolling in.

[Fv2]

Parts for a new project are starting to roll in. Just got a nos kalloy 21.1 slingshot stem.

I might keep a rolling thread as parts arrive.

Post office brought the stem, ups just dropped these off.

This is like another Christmas, I wonder what will show up next.

Nope. I've got a few chopper forks already.
This one will be something I've never attempted.

Found my wheels, this is where I get into unknown territory for me.

I don't know the first thing about derailleurs or cassettes.

No, they're 24. I've had an old Hawthorne frame for a couple years, thought it was time to use it.

That also means I won't be using the slingshot stem.

Nice fork. Any idea on spacing of the bar mounting points?

I haven't measured it, but the motorcycle handlebars fit great. Whereas the slingshot stem was to narrow.
