Jamis Diablo...soon to be e-bike.

Don't know much about this bike except that I REALLY like it!! Cro-Mo frame in a brushed satin finish...looks like stainless steel. Super light stripped down bike. Soon to be an e-bike. Building one up for a friend here in town. Stay tuned for more.

For a guy who likes a hardtail, that looks like a great starting point. 1 1/8 headset? If so, fork upgrades can be done to nice stuff. Hard to bead a good cromo frame. Looks like the fork was already upgraded once. On ebay I found a guy that sold me a huge bag of aluminum steer tube spacers for cheap. Tall handlebars are nice on a commuter, but two stems is kinda funky looking. And the headset won't be easy to clamp down properly with the cap not pressing down on the stem and spacer assembly. At least shove the star nut further in and cut off the excess steer tube to about 1/8" shorter than the stem.

I agree completely about the two stems. I'll take a look at doing what you suggest. Thanks for the tips!

That's a stem extender, right? it makes the stem taller?

Love the Cro-Mo frame. Nothing beats the feel of steel.

Is that what it is? New one for me. I just thought it was two stems, one with the bar cut off. Just wanted to be the first to notice something odd in the pic, like winning a game of wheres waldo.

A better looking way to bring the bars up is to just get a set of riser bars. $10 for steel ones usually.
