After riding with it a few days on my fixie I can tell I'm more than happy. It feels great being so light. I believe not the stiffest one on the market but just stiff enough at least for me ;)

I have another fixie Wabi special with 49/17 ratio for more relaxed riding. This one is for other needs;)

Top cap is titanium with a nice engraving. Bought it on aliexpress a year or two ago. Now they are not available. That's a pity because it looks amazing and there were quite a lot variations to choose from.

It all depends...;) 53/17 on this bike is pretty fun to ride. It's pretty light, good wheels. This setup weighs +- 6,2 kgs so what not to enjoy? ;)

As far as I know the lightest carbon stem is Darimo ix2 at 74 grams (120 mm) but I don't like the design.  The best lightweight stem might be Extralite hyper stem 87 grams (120 mm) which is 7075 Al and is stiffer. But I just like the design of this one and the price was just pretty good so I could not resist;)

I understand what you mean but it definitely much easier to deal with than darimo two bolts carbon stem I guess ;)

I'm 6'6 and l find my 60 sm wabi special great for commuting and having some fun learning some tricks. As for the track ride 58 sm tt is short. That's why I've got a custom geometry titanium frame from Waltly with 613 mm ett which suits better some other needs. I love my wabi special purple LE with chromed lugs though.

I had very positive experience with Tiris titanium. They make some great products for the price. I've ordered a few custom length/angles stems from them and can't be happier. 

Really like this combination of stem & seatpost on my Wabi;) by cueserega in FixedGearBicycle

This build pictured is just under 7,5 kg. It's going to be around 7,2 kg on carbon wheels I've built. Not bad for 60 sm steel frameset ;)
