    had the same issue yesterday with a bike I am fixing up, I think the stem had been in there since 1978. I tried everything mentioned here except caustic soda. In the end I stripped everything else off of the frame, turned it upside down and got a big friend to stand in it, took a big hammer, held a big lump of wood against the underside of the stem, and after 3 or 4 minutes of steady pounding, it came out. it barely moved at first but once it did it was relatively easy. What's a street anvil?

    i've been looking for mudguards too, I got those slick continental tyres from wiggle and they give you a wet arse very quickly. I left the local Evans very quickly after the guy tried to convince me that 27' are smaller than 700c, but I found these , apparently they come in a range of covers but I'm waiting to hear back from their sales people
