Ouch - how long after the operation was it before you could sit on the
saddle again?

The last operation was replacing the handlebar & stem.
I was fortunate in having a junk frame lying around
with just the right stem on it, c/w a hole for the
front canti brake cable and a nice, beefy clamp.

I also finally got around to amutating the vestigal
computer wiring harness.


cheers,
Tom

I always thought the term "fixed" was flawed. When it was time to
neuter the dog, we took him in to have him "broken."
