I just acquired this from fellow forum member #NOLA Sekai 4K (Martin) in a very good transaction all around.
My cleanup and polishing (I generally like all things shiny when they can be) brought a crack at rear of the clamp area to light. I did not see it until cleanup, not sure it was really visible till then and I know it surprised Martin.
If you look at the crack it could seem to have resulted from the backer nut being press-fit into the body?
I felt like it had been there since manufacture…stem had obviously been ridden and if there from beginning might be ok.
Martin suggested getting on here and asking opinions. Please opinionate!
