Enjoyable again!

I switched my stem out on my Miyata 610 this past weekend. Shortened it up by 20 mm. My what a pleasant difference!
I had been feeling too streched out and this quick fix made this bike Oh so nice!

I did the same thing with my 1980 Peugeot PKN-10, which had always been just a bit too tall and, more importantly, a bit too long for me.

I did the opposite with my 1971 Nishiki Competition, which was very short in the top tube.
