I might just do that, unless I book some time off work and to do a rebuild in the new year.

For band on you can get a spacer that goes inside between the frame and band that might move it those 2mm?

Where does one get such a genius little spacer?

Might be just enough to shift the mech into a different position.

Apparently 90mm is the original stem length.

Unfortunately my seat tube is 34.9mm so it won't fit but handy info for the future.

So, with some time off work I decided to get some testing and tuning done although the weather had different ideas.
In the last week or so I have swapped back to the 90mm stem, replaced the chain which had stretched, replaced a very worn pulley wheel on the RD, swapped in the Doyenne handlebars which led to me threading and trimming the outer cables, adjusting the seat height and setback, adjusting the stem height and learning how to tape handlebars. Did I say that I was on a steep learning curve?
And a small "specialized modification"

No, Not at the moment. I will when I fit these.....
some unused Tommasini X Fire forks with a 300mm steerer so, it will need cutting to fit. They're to replace the Merida forks which seem to have about 1mm of play in the bottom headset bearing. Unfortunately the crown race is integrated on the Merida forks and I think it is just worn out with old age (I know the feeling). Yes, I know they're not red but that blue is sooo niiice! I will just have to paint the frame to match.
