Project of the day, or framebuilder’s deathwish?
One problem I had with the GT was that there don’t seem to be any 1 1/8th quill stems out there that don’t have a ridiculous amount of positive rise (or are hideous adjustable stems.)
So I did a DIY solution; I cut apart a positive rise steel stem and rebuilt it as a ~ -7° one. And it’s now stuffed onto the GT so I can do some city riding to see if the fillet brazes fail on me in a situation where it’s fairly easy to get the bicycle back home.
