Wow, frame looks very different in such a large size. On mine the junction between the top and downtubes (where they meet the headtube) was massive, in yours there's a gap. :shock:

how wide are your bars mate, also whats the lenght of that stem ?slowly upgrading mine as we speak. charge spoon on its way from evans and half way through changing the brakes to tech m4's.
changed my bars to 680mm raceface deus but im now thinking that it feels be a bit short, considering some atlas bars at 725mm. got the wheels swapped to xm819's on hope pro 2 evo's.

Thank you all for nice comments!
I love Trek Fuel, this is my second.
Maybe if I had more money my choice would be Santa Cruz or Yeti but at this moment this is as far as I can strech.
I've owned Trek Fuel EX 7 2008 also custom build and sold the frame and the fork so I could buy this frame and fork.
The rest of the parts were just rebuild on new frame with few upgrades (stem, bar, front mech, cassette and chain)

@ D-Cyph3r
Yes, with that gap it looks at least three sizes biger then the 18.5/19.5 model that I previuslly owned.
The good thing is that on this size I can run shorter stem.

@s_blanche@hotmial.co.uk
Charge Spoon is great saddle and I love it!
Stem is 70 mm with 0 degree rise, bar is 680 mm wide with 30 mm rise and that combo hits my spot!
Excellent parts on your bike especially wheels!

@cgarossi
Your ride looks great!
