If anyone has a 1" threaded quill stem in 26.0, preferably with a removable faceplate and preferably with some rise that I can borrow for the weekend I would be grateful. Or if you have cinelli drop bars I can borrow.. or nitto drop bars... Oh boy..

The owner is nuts but he has crazy sweet stuff, my fav being a peach coloured Colnago track/pursuit frame made of SLX. Nutty.
) He also has a red Hardwick (British) complete track bike. It is beautiful and also my size. Jan seems to like me for some reason. He's been really nice to me every time I've gone in there. I've even bought a couple of things from him, like the 25.4 clamp stem with 22.0 (French) insertion diameter that I had such a hard time finding...

If you're serious I'd be totally up for that. I'm guessing a saturday would be a good choice. I'll be by tomorrow night, assuming regular safety-related festivities are in order as per usual. I expect nothing less than intruging intrigue. I'm pretty sure that was redundantly redundant. ROCK AND ROLL

For the tiny tootsie folk out there. I have a pair of older Sidi road shoes in a size 42. They are in fine shape and have Look pattern adaptors on em. Free to the first taker.
