OH how small is the frame? if it is very small like a 50 or 52 you might be able to attack this from the bottom aswell
Stem is totally seized. This is all too common with alloy to steel meetings without lube. There is NO way this will be unseized. So, what I have left is a bolt stuck inside the head tube (loose). I have 4 quill bolts and none of them are able to screw into this loose bolt inside the head tube. The hole on the nut seems to be so small. So, my question continues to be, is this normal? Is there varying sizes of holes and threading on quill nuts/wedges?
