Yes, there is. I didn't see it until I began to yank on the stem. It's slowly coming out, and as it is I discovered the shim. Success #1: broke the stem loose. Success #2: the stem has budged about half an inch. Success #3: I didn't suffer heat stroke while muscling it around, although I undoubtedly lost five pounds in perspiration!

Dunno what I'm going to do with this, really. I've got a little soft spot for Follis, but this is a very entry level model and the paint is very marginal at best. Oh well, keeps me off the streets!

I may post pictures in a new thread later in the week and look for suggestions.
