  1. Would it be possible to take the stock BikeE stem (with the welded on
    handlebar), fill it with sand and bend it in a pipe bender? I ask
    because I'd like to bring the handlebars about 3" closer to me so I
    can recline more fully.

    Or--if the above is a dumb idea (and probably is) does anyone know
    what gauge and type of tubing the stock BikeE stem is made from? I am
    too broke right now to go for the more elegant CalhounCycles solution.

  2. Maybe you could find a bent stem on eBay - I've seen a good bit of BikeE
    stuff there . . .
