Notes:

Bike was built at Stones Cyclery in Alameda, CA where I volunteer/wrench. All vintage components were NOS before the build. Wheels were built by Tim Parker. Thanks to the crew at Montano Velo, Andrew Muzi at Yellow Jersey, John Dacey at Business Cycles, EBAY, and, of course, Dennis Stone at Stone's Cyclery. All Bay Area bikeheads should make the pilgrimage to the shop and get "Stoned"!

That is, hands down, the sexiest stem I've ever seen.
