This is the one Sheldon warned about - the AVA

But my Motobecanes have Pivo's, and I thought I was safe with them!
I don't remember which one it was Auchencrow, but vaguely remember the phenomena LeicaLad mentions, so thought I'd retract my recommendation, just for safety's sake. I might have to do some research and see if I can find anything on the net. I still have a Pivo stem too.
