I was searching for this Confessions thread yesterday, because I have a confession...I de-flipped and un-slammed my stem. Yes, the shame of it all...I think I flipped it about a year ago and loved it while it lasted but, alas, my bad back caught up to me and just about every long ride this year my back was extremely tight when done and I've been going into spasms lately so screw the aesthetics, I'd rather be able to ride long and often than to look cool. So back to Fredland for me.
