aaaaaaand the creak is back.

I'm positive this time it's in the handlebar stem. However, the last mechanic to work on it tightened that nut down so much that I've literally got nothing that will open it up.

I flipped her upside down, and since my frame is open like that, I drizzled some lubricant down the hole so it'd slide down around the hold it together parts of the stem. Thought process here is if I let it sit upside down, some lubricant will seep in and fill the gaps and hopefully get rid of whatever's giving me that wicked creak.

I am WIDE open to input, here.....
