60mm carbons on a commuter/training bike? why?0

Because I'm a lad :-S0

Nice bike mate, but I hope the 60mm is a joke or something? A decent pair of deep wheels will set you back close to what you paid for the bike!!
Anyway it's your money and as I said, Nice bike!0 -
Nice bike, Go for it I say. Make sure you show an updated photo with the carbons on. They can transform the look of a bike.0

Of course the clincher comment was a gag ffs, great going finishing on Here.
Yeah stem is standard although I've cut the steerer down and slammed the stem, its an XL so comes standard with 130mm. Fit like a glove0 -

To be fair, any road bike should come with a 100-120cm stem, coming as standard with a 130mm strikes me as a bit amateur to be honest. Lucky it fits nicely!0 -

What's the weight on that? I've seen a few for sale locally at good prices, and may well get one if they are not too heavy.0

ooooh nice crunchy nut.
Bike's nice too I guess. Update photo's if it so transpires you're actually going to fit deep carbons on the bike for commuting.0 -
