But that is just me.
Same with me, I recently acquired a road bike with a very stuck stem, did the simple stuff to break it free, but that baby is in there. It's at the perfect height and all for me, but just knowing it isn't right drives me bats. I've been putting it off but am going to have to tackle it soon, every time I look at the bike I focus on that stem.
