The stem is a Ritchey WCS wet black 130mm that I got at the show for $15. I got 4 other Ritchey stems for $20 total.
I've put the FSA cranks on the Lemond tonight and am halfway through installing the 9 speed STI. I'm not sure if I want to put a road cassette on the Roval wheels or try out the cheap wheelset/cassette/tires I bought for the whichever bike I'm selling.
I hope to retire in 7 - 10 years and already am stressing about trimming down the herd. I end up selling a number of new builds but once they get tenure it's very hard to dispose of them. I have to give the Lemond a fair chance (i.e. get back to riding trim) and suspect that I'll love the Leader. Maybe I'll have to set my selling price a couple hundred higher
