If I chip in, I explain why:
I didn’t like this stem because I don’t agree with grinding quarter inch off.
Didn’t like the Senior pro turning into a Turbo, or polishing dropouts wafer thin to rid them of washer marks.
Also sick of seeing endless pics of polishing mops :LolLolLolLol:

what is the big deal with this fookin stem ? neil took what was a pretty shagged stem and re-finished it the way that he wanted to , if he chooses to polish his tackle then surely it is his business :idiot2: i agree with some of the comments regarding his resto work and yes , the stem could have been repaired by welding and filling the dents with alloy to restore it to a more original finish but at the end of the day this is neils choice surely . i do feel that he is getting a bit of a raw deal from certain members which i think is unfair .
it always amazes me that he can turn around his projects so fast ( mine seem to take forever ) but this just shows what passion he has for his hobby . if we all built our bikes to original spec then they would all look the same , where's the fun in that ? dont get me wrong , i love to see a factory spec bike which is perfect down to the last detail but some of the parts are difficult or impossible to find .
i say keep doing what you want neil , build them the way you want them as at the end of the day it is all down to personal choice what parts and what finish / colour you use .
love him or loathe him , he certainly has a passion for bmx and that's what is important . i met him briefly at mk and he seems to be a nice guy , though i never saw his ball sack and think my life will be richer for that !
