    I recently bought myself a new racer
    I want to change the seat post and stem
    I was looking at FSA and they have some nice gear
    Can anybody recommend any other manufacturers or websites

    Thanks in advance

    3T have nice stuff, available on slane cycles.

    Ritchey, chainreaction and wiggle.

    And like you mentioned, FSA.

    Easton is a favourite of many, or for bang for the buck stuff Shimano Pro, are very decent would be fine for most except the most die hard weight weenies.

    Why do you want to change seatpost and stem? They all do the job of holding the appropriate bits together pretty much the same.

    You would get far more from your money looking at other bits- wheels #1 and saddle, bars and pedals for contact points.

    I second 3T. Although I did pick 3T because it matched the colour scheme on my bike :rolleyes:

    You have moved up a few notches in my book, your attention to detail is admirable.

    I may have gone slightly too far with my attention to detail - matching the colour of the dust caps, having 3 sets of bar tap so that the plugs and tape could be different colours to match the overall colour scheme.

    Where does it stop? And unfortunately since is looks like this weekend will be crap weather again, I may find out...
