That's what I'll be doing to my 3TTT quill when it arrives, for the same reasons. LOL
I see these riders with slammed stems because it's the "cool" look and thing to do. That won't last when the backs and hands get sore after a while.
Beautiful ride too! I like the color.
Thanks, I love the color scheme also. The paint is in super good condition. I touched up the lug-lining and eventually will address a couple of scratches, but haven't felt the need to yet.
Most of my riding is on county streets and I need to be able to see. I have a Carlton road bike that I put upright bars on that is awesome. Very comfortable and keeps my head up.
