Thanks alot for the tip about the special tool. I check with my LBS today. Speaking about greasing stem and seatpost... I bought the bike two months ago, a nice Kotter with Shimano 600 all through. But... the frame was bent, the saddle broken, front derailleur almost worn through, rear wheel hub loosens up after 3 km ride, spokes rusty, bad tires, rear derailleur worn, chain rings pretty worn, and stuck stem. I have not payed yet though, and I am building a new one now. Swapping parts, and right now it seems like the brake levers and the steering bearings is the only thing I am going to use... and front hub and maybe right crank The seller is not getting many nickels for the bike from me...
