What next, old man, a recumbent and knee socks?<br /><br />You might try mounting them upside down for a comfy, but quasi-sporty look.<br /><br />All stems should have a removable face plate.

A sweaty dude like you should be the stoker. Maybe Liza can (wo)man-handle the steering with Albatross bars.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501437224497800843.post-9114167297825629582010-11-10T21:43:56.631-08:002010-11-10T21:43:56.631-08:00You can get threaded stems with removable faceplat...You can get threaded stems with removable faceplates:<br /><a href="http://www.nashbar.com/bikes/Product_10053_10052_509266_-1_10000__200459" rel="nofollow">Delta</a><br /><a href="http://www.nashbar.com/bikes/Product_10053_10052_174788_-1_201511_10000_200460" rel="nofollow">Nashbar</a><br /><br />I assume that any bike shop could order the Delta one.Nothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02814430696364049920noreply@blogger.com
