Like I said, Sheldon said it should be do-able with a reamer, but he indicated it would not be easy. I've also heard of folks taking the approach of sanding a 22.2 stem to 21.15, and those stories usually end with something like, "man, I'll NEVER do that again!" If you're determined to do it, it might be worth it to see what a machine shop would charge-

Also, if you do this, I'd be interested in knowing what the results are. I've got quite a few Schwinns-
