Hi Tom , We can debate the safety of the stem forever and a day .... and we'll never get anywhere.... but a headache! To the point ..... do you like riding the bike like that .... you know ... is it fun? I think that trumps everything .
Once you get your Bombadil .... I suspect you won't want to ride this ... or any other way-too-small bike again. Been there. I had a much to small Stumpjumper I bought in 1983. I tried in vain to get it to fit me ... but it never would ... it was just not a proper fit. I kept it over the years .... but once I got a proper fitting frame ... it happened to be a Bombadil too ..... I thought .... why am I keeping this? It rides like crap .... it's too small ... and it's just no fun. I promptly sold it. There's a zillion other bikes to choose from ..... why keep sucking a lemon when a juicy sweet orange is just waiting for me? *Life is too short to settle for ill fitting or not fun to ride bikes.* It isn't about the money .... ever ever ever . It's always always always what we're telling ourselves between the ears and the feelings from those thoughts. If something is not serving you well .... let it go . -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
