My .02, I would have made the bike ridable first, ridden it,
and determine the stem Height from riding it rather than looks..
then cut down the fork
they don't grow back if you cut them too short.
or the kludges to raise a short steerer are less elegant
than having more steerer in the 1st place.




December in San Diego is a bit nippy, but at least you are not having the Navy
put you in just a cotton shirt then have to march around in it.
my visit was 12/66..
