Yea, that fillet brazed stem is sweet! I don't have any bikes that use
threadless anymore, but if I did, I'd be wanting to get something like that.

Thanks! The stem is a Crust bikes fillet-brazed chromoly threadless stem.
You can't get them in this length right now unfortunately.
The shim would definitely make it look like brifters. My goal with this
build was to make a light fixed gear bike that looked classic but with all
new
Thanks, Doug!
Looks real nice! What kind of stem is that?
Looks like the shim would make them stick out straight like brifters.
Those bars look the same shape as the M151F I hopefully will be using. I
will have to try both ways to see which will be best for me.

Thanks for the info, everyone.
Do you all mount them with or without the included shim for the more
forward tilt?
Anyone got pics of yours so I can see what they look like with and without
shim?
Online seems like most arenlt shimming.
I am thinking of doing mine shimmed with M151F bars.

I’ve used both extensively and far prefer the TRP. So much so, that I ended up
trading out th Shimano for another set of TRPs.

I’ve used the Tiagras, basic Tektros, and TRP RRLs. The TRPs are the most
comfortable for me and look pretty. They offer multiple points of contact on
the levers and a solid perch to sit on if you like to ride on the hoods a lot.
YMMV of course.

I just got a set of the TRP's. Only $52.99
I think I will try to use the included shim for the flatter, more modern
looking angle transition instead of them sticking straight up and away from
bars.

The TRP levers are far superior in ergonomics (for me) when braking on
descents etc. The major difference that you might notice is the flatness
in terms of the transition from the bars to the hoods. The Shimano has a
very smooth/unnoticeable transition (on the bars I've tried), whereas you
might
I was bent on buying a pair of the TRP levers for their looks, but once I
held them at my LBS I found the hood shape where my hands would sit
"pointy" and somewhat slim for my larger hands. To me they felt like a
cross between the BRL 400s and a modern, boxy brifter. If you like the feel
of a

I made the switch from Shimano 105 aero's to TRP. I like the TRPs so far.
Looks great, but its a bit more ergonomic. Easier to brake in the hoods,
roomier, and the quick release function is nice if you run big tires.

Buy the TRP , they certainly can't be worse than the Shimano you have
! The larger bodied levers are a whole lot roomier than the "old" style,
which I always found too small.

They are, in my experience. The trps are a little wider and have that extra
hand perch up top which is somewhat useful. The button that releases the
lever is pretty useful, IMHO, especially when hooked up to v-brakes or
cantis; it just helps put slack in the cables to remove tires. The lever
