Do you know that you need to tap down the stem bolt after loosening it to drive the spreader cone out of the stem? If you find a source for the headbadge decal please let me know. I'm skeptical about powder coating valued vintage frames, but perhaps that is a baseless prejudice. Enjoy the bike!

Front mech and levers 105. Can't lower the stem despite loosening the allen bolt quill. Maybe need to loosen nuts? Nuts badly turned by a wrench? Need colour suggestion for frame and fork (single colours only) and where to order fresh Ron decals.
