Somebody wrote to ask me about the 1R fix seen on this photo:

Unfortunately I accidentally deleted the message and I don't remember who t he sender was. In any event, I did not make the fix, the bike came wth t he stem as you see it in the photo. From the photo and my recall, it loo ked like the stem and bar were drilled and tapped, a countersink was drille d for the allen bolt to seat in, and I would guess that loctite was used fo r good measure.
