Excellent if it gets finished. Must stick to it.

Another bit. The handle bar stem is an AVA, well made, robust with a great bar retention bolt which actually shaped to the contour of the bar. Convexed bolt which fits into concave divots on top and bottom.

The nice Azureen bar has a clamp size of 25.4 Any other French bar is too small. I have a 40mm St.Etenie one I contemplated using. Oh well.

A success, after months of soaking, the BB drive side cup came out. Stuff was so hard in there I have to chip and scrape the stuff off. Now it’s all clean!
