Buff_SA, try to put longer bars on the bike before you look at a longer stem. This will give a bit more space without messing up the steering response. On a bike like this you should try to avoid a longer stem than it has already.

 

For the seatpost, get a long dropper post (like a reverb 420?) which will allow a slightly taller setup.

Wham Bang .... a 420mm Reverb on special

I have a 760mm Next35 bar on my 80mm Vipa... wouldn't have it any other way! The OE bars are a good width as far as OE bars go. 

760mm ... you dirt roadie you .....  :ph34r:

That's still the Reverb 1. Not something I'd willingly buy. 

 

 

ooooo... did not take note of the silver collar giveaway!

 

As long as it doesn't have the original (as in 1st batch that came of the production line) hose and fittings you'll be fine. R1 problems were limited to the 1st batch.

to add: worth checking anyway, as they could just be using the wrong "stock" photo. Can't imagine ANYONE will still have brand new first run Reverbs in stock.

I'll give you that, but then we have to factor in that it's a Spez...so...

Ja, the Spaz thing is a problem!

 

Maybe this picture of my steel bike reclaim me some street cred

No offence taken, that bike covers road to get to the dirt and is slacker than many duallies out here.....actually think it might have slacker HA than the Trance to be perfectly honest with you.

 

Wish I could tell you that when that pic was taken it was after a ride, but I can't.

 

This pic might be better suited then

YOU TRY TO REDEEM YOURSELF WITH AN INSIDE PIC? That's it, as soon as I have confiscated the poor thing I'm deleting you off my phone.
