>>1210144>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stem_(bicycle_part)i see, thanks. i imagine the proper tool kits and stuff will cost a good bit, need someone to into me to bike maintenance and stuff as well. would like new wheels, i trust the build quality is good here but they are nearly 20 years old, and so are the tires i imagine. i see lots of ppl use carbon fiber wheels, itd be cool to grab some, im the dumb type to buy a carbon fiber shoehorn if i can find one, love the stuff.
as for the stem yeah i didnt really think about it but seeing what modern bikes are using it does look funny and i can see how it would turn better as well. all the damage done to it including the nasty brown handlebar tape i think its called were done by me, regrettably some of the decals have been damaged and some scuffs here and there
but what i really need is someone to explain the fking gear shift to me reee
