And while I was waiting for frame tubes to cool today I started changing up the first of a few stems I've picked up.
A few people saw the quill stem I made recently and expressed interest in a 31.8mm version. I still haven't figured out any way to make the construction of the quill/extension bit of the stem any easier or more accurate/repeatable but I figure there's absolutely hunners of steel quill stems knocking about so...
A removable faceplate version will be next and I have a negative angle ITM road stem to work with too. The two stems pictured above were selected (based on them having the least dog shitty welds) from the box of quill stems at the local bike coop. I did wonder about laying a cosmetic fillet braze over the weld.
