Thanks Velo-Bear for the invite. Thought I'd post my recent AL build as some sort of Bona Fides, I usually hang with the C&V grouches. I'll be following this thread from know on.....
Knoxville huh, I graduated somehow from Gallatin HS. A bit to the West.

So my current one is measured from the angle perpendicular to the head tube, and the one I want is measured from the angle of the head tube in relation to the ground? So what I'm looking for is a 17 degree stem which could only be measured from the angle of the head tube since if it were measured perpendicular to the head tube, it'd be angled way below horizontal? I'm just trying to repeat in my words to clarify what you're saying.
this would give me a horizontal stem, right?

I just remembered... I went to my normal LBS today looking for a wider range cassette. I wanted a 11-32 and the guy brought it to me and told me it won't work on anything but SRAM Apex and that they have a 105 11-28. I asked what about it won't work and he was sort of short with me.. didn't really give me a clear answer. So I held off, came home, looked up the specs on some Shimano stuff and found out that it indeed would not work.
So I went to the other LBS down the street and in summary, I left convinced they were my new LBS. It felt nice feeling like I could actually have a conversation with the shop guy and leave feeling like I learned something.

In the french part they are looking for a ton of nurse so they are ready to pay a lot to get some and there is a deal inbetween quebec/switzerland so if they want they can hire some quebec nurses to work for them. Much better salary + Paid trip If what I heard is correct.

I figured I'd ask here instead of making a new thread. For stem angle measurements, are the angles measured in relation to the stem clamp being horizontal and it bends below or above 90 degrees, or are they measured in relation to the angle of head tube angle, like if the headtube angle was 73 degrees, you would need a 17 degree stem for it to be horizontal? I want to get a new stem that is parallel in relation to the ground but I'm unsure of what angle stem to get. My current says it's -7 degree. Here's a picture of the stem right now

I have a bike where the headtube is 73.5 and I have a 17deg stem on it. It looks every so slightly downward sloping. I would think it would be horizontal on a 73 headtube.

I did. something about a lower tooth being visible when the jaws are shut. I am puzzled why such a minor difference should be enough for them to be categorised as different animals.

Leg pics? I could post the pretty colors my lower calf and ankle turned after whatever damage I did in the upper part drained down to the lower part.
I should get some of those socks.

Crocodiles can live in saltwater, are far more aggressive, and generally get way bigger.

by that account, some big guys like bouncers should not be classified as humans.

We get a delivery from a local farm here every Wed morning. So I woke up with fresh milk, bread, cheese, and produce on my doorstep. Enjoying some farm fresh chocolate milk right now.
