bring me your old your tired your one inch removable face quill stem

July 24, 2013

if you're old enough to look at this site once in a while you're old enough to have a milk crate full of parts in your basement and you're also old enough to remember what a quill stem is or a compact disc or a land line or a VCR or what hard work gets you.

when I look at a bike   size it up    take it in    check it out       the stem is a point of interest    there's nothing worse than a clunky chunky cheap ugly alloy stem    except a threadless stem converter surrounded by a chunky cheap ugly alloy threadless stem on a beautiful Italian steel road bike 

I'm looking for a Salsa one inch quill removable face plate 25.4 clamp or shim-the-shit-out of a 26.0    for a special project projected in my mind.

i've got my finger on the pulse of the used bike part stream that trickles down through the Rainier Valley into Columbia City and Bike Works but these stems do not roll in like the rest because anyone who knows anything doesn't cough them up even if they haven't owned a threaded headset for 17 years these stems are so badass people just keep them in their basement to use as bottle openers or door pulls with fond memories and emotional attachments

More than once I've sent out the call and you et al have answered. More than once of those morethanonces it's been 37 Mike because he's such a badass and his "milkcrate" of parts could fill a shipping container but here it goes again and I'm not just talking to you 37.

I'll give you $20 for the Salsa, no rush, call it a 4-hour. But it's a roundtrip from the CD to the top of QA and back. Unless you can front the funds and then of course tack on the Cash Advance Fee and juice the client an additional 15%
